Brown Homespun Doll Dress Handstitched Chicken Scratch Embroidery 1890s
$0.00
Now what could be more charming! A school girl ABC embroidered sampler from the late Victorian or early 1900's. The chicken scratch (X stitches) are done on a blue and white check homespun fabric. Beautifully worked letters from A to P. The sampler is bordered with narrow stitches.
I had it professionally framed about 25 years ago, in a natural wood frame that compliments the sampler.
Size is 13" x 18, including the frame. The sampler, itself, is about 9-1/2" x 15".
Condition: As noticed from the photos, a small dot of oxidation on a couple of the letters. Otherwise nice.
An endearing piece for most any home decorating scheme.
