Item Details

Description

Descended in the family until now, and never offered for sale in 190 years. The legend reads This Work in hand my friends may have/When I am dead and in my grave/And when my work each time you see/With fond remembrances, think of me. Sarah Evans Teacher, My Parents Jonathan Thomas 1824 and Ruth Thomas 1824, Susanna Thomas's Work made in the 17th year of her age 1824. The sampler has strawberries as a border on all 4 sides, lovebirds in the center of the top with flowers on each side, urns and flowers, butterflies, small urns themes and motifs on the surface. Old but not original framing. The condition of the piece is unrestored, in good, original condition with no visible losses to fabric threads, but with the age, undoubtedly, there is something somewhere, but you would have to really look to find it. The Thomas family lived in Pennsylvania for several generations close to the greater Philadelphia area, according to family legend, they were Penn. Dutch. The teacher, Sarah Evans, was a known teacher from other samplers. The dimensions of the sampler are 20 1/2" wide by 22" tall, framed, 24 1/8" tall by 22 1/2" wide. There is some fading from age, but the sampler is in extremely good condition.
