About the Item

Early 1900's American sampler, under glass; nicely, professionally mounted and displayed in appropriate contemporary black frame with narrow red inset. Hand cross stitched on linen; a red tiled roof house surrounded by trees decorates the top section (probably the maker's dwelling); beneath is a saying in blue letters; "Dear house you're really very small---just big enough for love--that's all." In the bottom section are two figures wearing top hats in tan and red, a male and female, walking through a pink and green floral arbor. All portraying an idyllic setting. The border is a continuous blue, red, and black geometric rectangular pattern which frames the needlepoint. Condition is very good and completely original with no tears or repairs of any kind; there is some "age" spotting here and there, mainly on the left side inside the border (see images). There is no fading and the colors are strong; all in all, it is a nicely made needlepoint sampler. Dimensions: 17" high x 13 3/4" wide (actual sampler) 18" high x 14 3/4" wide (in frame) Note: I am a second generation antiques dealer and have been in business for 50 years; I am also a member of several prestigious antique associations. Thus, I am well qualified to inspect and evaluate the products I offer for sale and I guarantee this to be authentic and as I have described.
