I am delighted to share this antique with you. It is from 1840 of Dutch origin. The sampler had lots of great motifs and I loved the top rows of crowns and shields, but the composition did not please me, it had large blank spots on it. I saw this piece as more enjoyable in the vertical format as like a band sampler with the bottom coming to a point. It is framed in the photo but would look equally wonderful with a hem stitched edge. Finished Size 7 5/8" x 19 1/3". Stitch Count is 157 x 387. Stitched on 40 ct Hogbristle by Fox & Rabbit.
