Comments: Canvas work, also called Berlin wool work, was a much esteemed pastime for 19th century ladies. This pair of men's suspenders were undoubtedly worked by a wife, mother or sister for him. Entirely hand sewn, these suspenders are worked in wool chenille on a linen canvas. The vibrant flowers have a raised pile and resemble a tapestry.
