Product code: Signed & Dated 1928 Cross Stitch hotsell Needlepoint MUSEUM Sampler in Period Frame
This antique sampler was made in early 1900's by a young maiden. This pattern was part of the popular American Colonial Revival movement. An exact version of this sampler is part of the Colonial Williamsburg (Virginia) Museum Collection. You can see the museum's sampler by typing the quote into a search engine. The Colonial Williamsburg Museum's sampler has different initials as each crafter personalized with their work. It's in a period 1920's frame which I won't touch. All I did was lightly dust it. I will not remove it from the frame which I feel is part of the artifact because it is period. FRAME SIZE hotsell 10.75” x 13.75” Under Glass CONDITION NOTES Excellent preserved artifact. Frame is nicked in one corner (last photo), shows some minor scuffing. If I was going to keep this piece, I would retain it in the original frame but take it to a professional to have it reframed with archival glass . That would preserve the textile from UV damage and be non-glare. FIRM PRICE.
