Antique Victorian children’s embroidery sampler tapestry with animal and floral imagery in primitive oak frame
A beautiful early Victorian sampler held in a thick primitive stained oak frame. The piece adorned with a central floral display with a beautiful animal and floral themed surround.
The sampler reading “Hearken o daughter and consider and incline thine ear forget also thine own people and thy fathers house” completed by Margaret David, aged 11, on the 27th of September 1841.
Victorian samplers were embroidered practice pieces and "sewing CVs" made by young girls. They served as essential educational tools, teaching literacy, numeracy, and moral virtues like patience and discipline. Completed pieces often showcased a girl's technical mastery of stitching before she entered domestic service.
A charming decorative wall accent with an undeniable Folk Art charm.
Frame measures 57cm x 47cm
