Quiet Street Antiques of Bath has dated this Georgian Framed Needlework Sampler to the 1800s.
It retains its bright colours and is good original condition. Framed behind glass.
The script reads:
1.
"Jesus permit thy gracious name, to stand, as the first effort, of an infants hand and while her fingers, on the canvass move, ingage her tender heart to seek thy love, with thy dear children, let her have a part, and write thy name thyself, upon her heart.
2.
Great Saviour, who didst condescend young children in thine arms to take, still prove thyself the childrens friend, and save them for thy mercy's sake. It is by the guidance of thine hand, that they withiin thine house appear, and in thine awful presence stand to hear they word and join in prayer.
3.
Like precious seed, in fruitful ground, let the instruction they receive with fruits of righteousness abound, and make them to thy glory live. To read thy word, their hearts incline , to understand it, light impart. Dear Saviour, may they all be thine, take full possessionof each heart".
An almost identical sampler worked by Elizabeth Pugh (also of the Lozells Establishment) is in the collection of the Sandwellls Museum (Object No: W4910)
