NEW SCARLET LETTER MARGARET GAMBLE SAMPLER 1820 Cross Stitch Kit Scottish Gift. Perfect for your use or as a special gift! MARGARET GAMBLE SAMPLER 1820 kit. Good example of a Scottish Sampler. Historic Reproduction Samplers from The Scarlet letter. Origin and date: Scottish 1820. Linen count and finished size: 25-count, unbleached, 17? X19-1/2? Stitches: Cross, counted thread, freehand satin, stem, and upright Gobelin stitches. The mansion depicted on this formal Scottish sampler appears on many other Scottish samplers, but has never been identified. Other typical Scottish motifs – the peacocks, initials of both parents, illumination of letters by double running stitch, and rabbits – appear on this lovely piece. Scottish Samplers: The bold use of strong primary color, particularly reds and greens, distinctive architectural style (very geometric, often with strong vertical lines and French influences), heraldic peacocks (usually with seven tailfeathers), dogs, rabbits, illuminated lettering, and other symbolic motifs, make Scottish samplers quite a recognizable group. Archaic designs often appear on Scottish works one hundred years after having made their debut on English samplers. The arms of Scotland, the “mystery mansions, ” many groups of initials (usually family members), peculiar shaded mounds upon which often sit urns, fountains, Adams and Eves, or groups of odd little rabbits stacked up or all in a row, are specific elements of design seen on this regional group of samplers. Package may have signs of storage wear (scratches, scuffs, creases, discoloration, etc). Kit only frame not included.

NEW SCARLET LETTER AMELIA PEWMER 1782 SAMPLER QUAKER SILK Cross Stitch Kit Gift. Perfect for your use or as a special gift! New Scarlet Letter Silk. AMELIA PEWMER 1782 AN ENGLISH QUAKER SAMPLER. Historic Reproduction Samplers from The Scarlet letter. Background is light brown. Some pictures lightened to show details. Although there has not been the extensive research and study of English Quaker samplers as there has been of their American counterparts, we believe that this sampler was created under the tutelage of a Quaker sewing instructress in England. The fine bleached linen and wide range of brightly colored silks (16 shades) point to a more formal (and British) atmosphere in which it was created. Important design elements linking this to Quaker schools include the lettering style and the use of ligatues (two united letters). The counted thread satin stitched design at the bottom resembles pattern darning also found on Quaker samplers. Origin and date: England, circa 1782 Rated: Intermediate Stitches: Cross, counted satin, freehand satin Source: Private collection. Package may have signs of storage wear (scratches, scuffs, creases, discoloration, etc). Kit only, frame not included. Handwritten note on top says 35ct.

NEW SCARLET LETTER SARAH BRIGNELL 1769 SILK Cross Stitch Sampler Kit Vintage Gift. Perfect for your use or as a special gift! New Scarlet Letter SILK Sarah Brignell 1769. From the Victoria & Albert Museum in London. Historic Reproduction Samplers from The Scarlet letter. Try as we might, we cannot find another sampler to compare with this one by Sarah Brignell. It is a sampler unto itself: truly an original piece of folk art. The tiny central cartouche with the densely stitched scene floats like a little world unto itself in the midst of the exuberant garden of flowers vining around all four sides. This is what we try to seek out in our samplers for reproduction: the unique, the genius that shines through, the personal expression that goes beyond the stock art form, that retains its brilliance over the centuries. Samplers are vastly more than mere alphabetical exercises in monotony. Here is an example of sampler art at its finest. Package may have signs of storage wear (scratches, scuffs, creases, discoloration, etc). Kit only frame not included. Please see pictures as they are part of the description (some may be lightened to show detail). Please see the images of the actual item above for a better idea of the condition.
