A large, antique, Berlin type woolwork embroidery panel with a religious scene of Moses in the Bulrushes which shows the finding of Moses by the Pharaoh's daughter. It is also known by the titles: The Finding of Moses, or Moses Saved from the Waters. It was a popular art subject matter. The Egyptian princess and her attendants are seated and standing by a river around the baby Moses. Classical buildings appear in the distance with a sphinx garden statue on a pedestal by the princess to reference Egypt.

Tapestry on wooden frame support.

Some of the wool has worn away in places (see photos) could be restored or accepted as part of its age and history.

Can be collected from Camberwell, London SE5

  Awful. A Google search came up with this, but will he check his office email over Christmas? Maybe worth also contacting local councillor? 'To contact Southern Housing's CEO, Paul Hackett, you can try his direct email, [email protected], or use the general contact email [email protected], as well as calling their main number, 0300 303 1066, for general inquiries or to be directed to the executive level.' Also, from the website: https://www.southernhousing.org.uk/latest-news/2025/contacting-us-over-the-festive-period 'Contacting us about an emergency? If you have an emergency outside of the above times over the festive period, such as severe flooding, an uncontainable leak, gas leak, complete electrical failure or lift breakdown, please call us on 0300 303 1066' I hope it is sorted out soon.

  Sorry but I think it's best if people just check things for themselves when they buy things. In three shops/restaurants (from some years back) I just avoid the places concerned, as in all three cases I was pretty sure it wasn't a genuine mistake, and in one place it happened more than once and usually late at night.

  Sorry Sue - me again. This has been on my mind all day, it's a big bug bear of mine. If you don't mind - please can you private message me some of these shops so I can cross reference / add to my AVOID list. Thanks in advance. Let's make sure this doesn't happen this Christmas, particularly as we head into sales season. Even more problematic in my experience.
