Dating to circa 1938, 'Sewing Bird' is a masterful rendering by artists Cora Parker and Carmel Wilson, produced for the historic Index of American Design. This classical illustration documents a highly ornate, 19th-century brass sewing clamp—a domestic tool elevated to an object of sculptural beauty. Parker and Wilson's work captures the metallic patina and intricate cast details with exceptional architectural precision, preserving a vital piece of American material culture. To honor this historical provenance, every format, including our canvas option, is finished with a consistent, clean white gallery border. This refined, gallery-ready presentation floats the artwork in standard proportions with absolutely no cropping, maintaining the composition's original integrity.
About Your Border
Every format — Fine Art Print, Framed Fine Art Print, Canvas and Framed Canvas — is supplied with a clean white gallery border framing the image on all four sides. The border is sized in proportion to the piece — approximately 10% of the shortest edge on each side (for example, about 3 cm of white border on a 30 cm-wide piece) — so the artwork keeps its standard proportions with no cropping and is ready to hang or frame straight away. If you prefer, you can also place your own mount/mat on top.
Would you like a different border width, a borderless full-bleed version, or any other adjustment? Just let us know within 24 hours of ordering and we'll tailor it for you at no extra cost.
