Description

C Summers was ten years old when this sampler was completed, probably around 1800-20. Using coloured silks, it includes an alphabet, a band of running foliage, a fruit-laden basket flanked by a pair of birds along with a pair of collared dogs on a horizontal band, below which is added the name and age of its creator. What we love about this particular sampler is its size, a mere 10 x 12 cms.

FAQs

Needlework samplers originated as a reference guide for embroiderers to practice various stitches, alphabets, and motifs, later evolving into decorative educational pieces for young girls in schools.

Traditional samplers were typically stitched using silk, wool, or linen threads onto a ground fabric of hand-woven linen or canvas, often mounted in timber frames.

Authentic pieces display hand-spun threads with natural dyes, irregular weave patterns in the backing fabric, and signs of ageing such as subtle fading and oxidation on the backboards.

They can be displayed on narrow wall spaces or gallery walls alongside contemporary art to add historical texture and a layer of curated warmth to a room.

Preservation requires framing with UV-filtering glass, acid-free backing materials, and hanging away from direct sunlight and high humidity to prevent fibre degradation.
