Seller: frangipani20_2 ✉️ (703) 100%, Location: Buckinghamshire, GB, Ships to: AMERICAS, EUROPE, ASIA, AU, Item: 142460335508 ANTIQUE CHILD'S SCHOOL SAMPLER, late 19th C., Collectors, museum, sewing. This is an attractive example of a young school girl’s sewing sampler of the late Victorian or Edwardian era. It is enclosed in a hard cover covered in blue ribbed watered silk and tied with two silk ribbons.  Her initials L.R. are embroidered on the front.  There are beautifully made examples of tucks, cuff, patching, gathering. button hole, feather stitching, construction of gusset, grafting, patching on a very fine knitted fabric, and other examples.  Each piece has been carefully and almost invisibly mounted on to pages of calico.  The sampler measures 23 x 18 cms., approx. 9 x 7 inches. The cover and ribbons are in good condition, with slight wear at the edges. There is also some soiling at the edges of the calico pages, but this is just from handling in the past. There is also slight moth damage to the two wool examples one of which can be seen in the last photo in the series. These samplers were the result of teaching needlework in schools, some children learning as young as 7 or 8, and gave the children skills which would probably prove useful to them as adults, either in the home or as a means of earning a living. This sampler probably dates towards the end of the 19th Century and I believe that it is probably Dutch. It will be sent by Royal Mail "signed for" service and will be fully insured.
