Description
This sampler is a stunning and rare example because it features what we must assume was the embroiderer's home which appears to be a timber framed manor house. The piece is headed by the alphabet and numbers but there are also farm animals and pets, trees and flowers.
The colours have stood up well and there is no evidence of damage, framed in maple this is an exceptional sampler by any standards.
Part of a small collection of 6 samplers bought in the 70's and 80's by a couple who are now downsizing.
Size - 24"(60cms) x 10"(25cms)
Internal Ref: 30134
