Needlework Darning Sampler, England c.1780 by Margaretta Twight

Item Details

Description

On close examination, this finely worked darning sampler is surprising intricate. Depending on the viewing angle, the overlapping stitches not only recreate complex woven patterns, but they change hue and the initials, (M S) at the bottom, disappear and reappear. Margaretta Twight possibly lived in Cornwall, England. Research indicates she may have been the Margaretta Twight (1764-1788) that married John Symonds in Cornwall. Years later, according to an early label on the backing paper, the sampler was framed by H. K. Higgs, 95 High Street, Cheltenham. Silk on linen; 11.75 x 10.5 inches framed.
