per item

Charming 19th c. pocket sampler tucked into a round cardboard box. This small piece is actually painted onto a fine gauze ground. Using the natural grid of the warp and weft, the young woman crafted her message in the interstices between threads. The gauze is mounted on a cream silk ground, and decoratively hemmed around the border.


" A / gift from thy / daughter / PP to JP"


The round box is decorated with embossed red paper on one side, and includes a handwritten message on the interior: "through earthly / businefs / bear a heaven-ward / mind".


SIZE:

Box: 2.2" x .75"


CONDITION:

Sampler in excellent condition. No stitch or ground loss. Surface wear to round box with darkening and spotting. **Box is delicate, with lid starting to pull from rim. See 3rd photo.
