Item History & Price

Reference Number: Avaluer:81623
Original Description:
Early/mid 19th century sampler by Elizabeth Hack aged 8 - 1839. Worked in a dark olive green wool on linen, this sampler is completely charming with neat stitch work throughout. the moreso when one considers Elizabeth was just eight years old when she completed it. The linen is stitched with rows of alphabet letters, numbers and border patterns finishing with Elizabeth's details and the date of 1839 running across the bottom edge.The linen has overall discolouration consistent with its... age, slightly darker in places. The sampler is behind glass so I'm not able to see the reverse, but the colour of the wool appears good though it is likely to have mellowed to some extent over the years. There is also some very slight bleeding to small areas of the stitch work. The sampler is contained within a good quality late 20th century bird's eye maple frame with gilt slip. Both are in good condition with the odd scratch and scuff mark commensurate with their age. The last photo is of the back of the frame and shows the date of October 1986 and a small label. The label shows the details for Maureen L Kent, presumably the person who framed, and possibly conserved the sampler in 1986.Measures  10 1/4" x 10 1/4" (sight size) and 13 3/4" x 14" including the frame.
PLEASE NOTE - ANY MARKS ETC ON THE PHOTOS WHICH I'VE NOT ALREADY MENTIONED ARE FROM THE GLARE AND REFLECTION OF THE GLASS AND NOT ON THE SAMPLER ITSELF.
