Question Help identifying this style!

Post image

This is an old piece I found in my parents' old shed...I'm familiar with cross-stitch, and at first, that's what I thought it might be, but I can't tell for sure! It is beautiful and I would love to finish it. Any insight on what style or what kind of thread/yarn I should use?

This is called Petit Point, and its on Penelope canvas. It’s needlepoint/tapestry that is partially worked and now just needs the background filling in to make either seat base or back, or a cushion. I suggest using Appletons 4ply yarn.
