Reclaimed Petit Point Sampler - Butterfly & Flowers

 

£62.00


An exquisite old sampler in the tiniest of petit point stitches.  It appears that this was produced over a very long time in the late 1700's.   An exceptional piece that is beautifully executed with such detail.  I have taken lots of photographs as a visual descriptor.  The reverse is still showing the original brighter tones of colour.  Embroidered onto a silk fine organza which is backed with another layer of this fine fabric.  I wonder what its origin is.

This piece holds so much technique, skill and laboured hours.

A fine example that sits strongly within the history of embroidery


Measures 18cm in diameter
The organza near the petit point has split in areas.  A fragile piece that you may wish to frame.
