1879 Hand-Wrought Needlework Sampler with Lace Collar
1879-Dated, Hand-Wrought Needlework Sampler, by “Emma Orth,” Display Framed, Extremely Fine.
A very lovely 1879-Dated Embroidered Sampler by “Emma Orth.” These Needlework Samplers allowed young women to practice their craft, and have become highly collected for their social history and window to the past. This Sampler measures 13.5” square and is displayed together with a beautiful white Lace Collar (which she also presumably made) which measures about 12” x 2”. They are matted upon white linen with a beautiful colorful period floral border, and framed in wood frame to an overall size of 20.5” x 26.5”. This Sampler features four full alphabets, plus some number and a couple of undetermined images in the lower right. Fabric and thread are in very good condition with no discernible holes. The Lace Collar is also in excellent condition with only some very minor edge fraying. An impressive superb quality Sampler, already custom framed and ready to hang on display.
