Antique English sailors woolie yarn painting of ship c1860

Antique English sailors woolie yarn painting of a sailing ship c1860. This woven yarn painting dates from the Victorian period between 1840 to 1860. It is mounted in its original birdseye maple frame. The detail is superb depicting the ship under sail with waving sailors, a fort, many flags flying, and cannons. This is the finest Victorian antique sailor's woolie we have had the good fortune to acquire. This piece was part of a very important English maritime collection. Measures 26 inches wide by 20 and one half inches high. Excellent original condition, no moth damage, no fading.

Thank you for your quick reply. I am really shocked at the price. I knew many people here wanted it, but probably figured I didn't know what I had and they wanted to buy it for nothing. I am glad I held on to it.
Thanks again!
