Unframed, vintage cross-stitch artwork depicting Longwood in Natchez, Mississippi. Longwood, also known as Nutt's Folly, is a historic antebellum mansion located in Natchez, Mississippi. Construction began in 1860 but was halted in 1861 due to the outbreak of the Civil War. As a result, only the exterior and the first floor were completed, leaving the interior unfinished.
The house is known for its unique octagonal shape and its distinctive onion-shaped dome. It stands as a symbol of the grandeur and ambition of the pre-Civil War South.
Cross-stitch is a traditional needlework technique that involves creating images or patterns using small, X-shaped stitches on a grid-like fabric. Handmade cross-stitch artworks, especially those depicting historical landmarks, can be valuable depending on the skill of the stitcher, the complexity of the design, and the subject matter.
