Few framed pieces that we've seen have been more interesting or attractive than this cloth tapestry depicting a batter and catcher awaiting a pitch. Expertly framed (in a modern but very attractive ornate wood frame) to approximately 25" x 29" the pieces is a sort of textile that features a repeating pattern of the two ballplayers and a floral arrangement. Whether the piece was intended to be some sort of wallhanging a curtain a bed sheet or something else is of little concern to us - the craftsmanship is wonderful and in its frame makes for a beautiful display. A wonderful example of expert 19th Century craftsmanship coupled with the explosive growth of baseball as our national pastime at the dawn of a new century.
