Early 19th Century Scottish Needlework Sampler

19th century
Description

A charming early 19th-century needlework sampler, beautifully worked in coloured silks in excellent antique condition. The piece includes multiple rows of stitched letters and numbers, followed by a series of names — Wm Ingram, John Ingram, Henry Burt, Catherine Russell, Catherine Ingram 1822, along with several sets of initials. The lower section is richly decorated with traditional motifs including stylised trees, birds, hearts, flowers and geometric devices, all arranged with pleasing symmetry. The sampler is presented in an early frame with a paper backing label for John Haxton & Co., Fine Art Dealers and Picture Framers, 92 High Street, Kirkcaldy, adding a lovely touch of local provenance. A characterful and personal piece of Scottish needlework, full of charm and social history, and a wonderful example of the domestic artistry of the period.

The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

FAQs

A needlework sampler is a panel of hand-embroidered fabric created as a demonstration of needlework skills, featuring practice alphabets, numbers, decorative motifs, and often personal inscriptions or dates.

Samplers from this era were traditionally stitched onto hand-woven linen or wool canvas using silk, wool, or cotton threads in fine cross-stitch and accent embroidery stitches.

Authentic Scottish samplers frequently feature specific motifs such as peacocks, architectural houses, stylized potted plants, family initials, and specific dating stitched directly into the design.

Framed needlework artwork can be hung within a gallery wall, displayed above a sideboard, or placed in a hallway to introduce historic texture and craft to contemporary spaces.

Framed textiles should be protected using UV-filtering glass and acid-free mounting materials, stored away from direct light, and kept in environment-controlled rooms to prevent fading and fibre damage.
