This beautiful English sampler was
originally stitched on fine linen with silk threads, in gros and petit point
stitches (i.e. cross stitch over one and two threads of linen), and a small
number of straight stitches. A four sided arcaded meandering floral border
surrounds two sections, the upper featuring a stylized spotted leopard
flanked by trees and birds, the lower scene with a verse within a cartouche
composed of linked crosses, surrounded by birds and stags. The words inside
the cartouche read:
Stitched on 40
count linen, the reproduction sampler will very closely approximate the size
of the original: 14-1/2" x 18". The sampler is recommended for intermediate
level needleworkers. |
