A beautifully proportioned 19th century sailor's woolwork, or 'woolie', featuring a Royal Naval steam and sail-powered iron-clad warship. It is portrayed in full sail, with the steam funnel billowing smoke as it passes a coastline. The Royal Navy ensign flag notifies its class. In overall good condition. Some fading to the sky area, and one or two minor broken wools on the padded sails. Original maple-veneered, cushion-profile frame, and rippled float glass.
