Vintage British Empire Embroidered Map Sampler King George V 1935 Commemorative: $225.00
This is a beautifully preserved, framed vintage embroidered sampler map depicting the global British Empire. This piece dates to circa 1935, produced as part of the celebrations surrounding King George V's Silver Jubilee.
The map features the "GR" Royal Cypher prominently at the top center. In classic historical cartography fashion, British territories (including Canada, India, South Africa, and Australia) are highlighted with red/pink embroidery, while the rest of the world is rendered in green patterning.
Very good vintage condition. No water damage, tears, or major thread bareness. Shows expected light, uniform age-toning to the material. There are a couple small spots- see last few pics.
