Good 19th Century Sampler Embroidery Margaret James Aged 14 1844

19th century
Description

This is a very fine 19th century sampler by Margaret James aged 14 and dated 1844. The sampler is beautifully executed with fine needlework and features many interesting images including a central cottage with smoking chimney, flanked by embroidered trees, other decorative motifs include birds in branches, flowers and butterflies, flowering trees cats, stags, lions, stars, dogs and a flower posy to each corner all with a floral border and framed neatly in a good gilt frame.

This is one of three good samplers by children of the James family, (Margaret here aged 14, Elizabeth aged 12 in 1836 and Ann James aged 12 in 1839) that we have recently acquired.

You can identify several recurring designs between the three and all are embroidered in the same naturalistic colour palette.

This sampler is in excellent condition overall save for a very minor hole to the bottom left which can be seen in the fifth photo next to the small tree by the left hand stag.

The sampler measures 49 cms by 38 cms overall including the frame.

UK delivery is £20.

Strictly Vetted Dealers

Every single antique dealer on our platform is individually approved by our internal team. We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer. In fact, since our founding in 2002, Sellingantiques has only had to step in to help resolve an issue on roughly five occasions—a true testament to the quality of our dealers and their dedication to your happiness.

Secure Transit

Our dealers are highly experienced in packing and shipping fragile, high-value antiques. Because you are in direct contact with the dealer, you will be able to easily go through all available shipping and insurance options together to ensure your item arrives safely.

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.
