Item Details
Description
A neat and tidy needlework sampler (silk on linen) showing 2 houses by Harriet Augusta Sibley of Barre, Massachusetts. The sampler is dated 1826, when Harriet was 10. (Nice work for a 10-year-old!) The sampler has 4 alphabets in different sizes, and the numbers 1-17. There is a large house on a hill (note the white fence in front of the house), trees and a much smaller house next to 3 trees. There is a zig-zag border around 3 sides, and a wonderful vine with flowers intruding into the center of the sampler under the verse that Harriet stitched (“Jesus permit thy gracious name to stand…”); Harriet’s sampler measures 17” x 16 ½” and is framed in a contemporary wooden frame (overall frame size is 18 ½” x 18”. It is in very fine condition: there are no tears or holes, and no missing stitches. Minor bleeding of the brown silk thread at the start of the large script alphabet, and some very light staining down the center into the verse, again most likely from bleeding of the thread. Barre, Massachusetts is in the central part of the state, just east of the Quabbin Reservoir.
