Beautiful 1904 Antique Framed Cotton Needlework Sampler
This is an authentic, beautifully preserved antique needlework alphabet sampler, proudly signed "F.N." and dated 1904. It is beautifully presented in a frame under glass, making it a ready-to-hang piece of Edwardian-era domestic history.
Item Details:
Design: Features multiple embroidered typographies, including flowing cursive capitals, lowercase letters, gothic lettering, and sequential numbers.
Details: The primary sampler sits on a delicate scalloped edge cotton fabric, mounted against a charming red and white gingham background. The top portion includes two stitched square outlines flanking the date and initials.
Presentation: Housed in a dark, simplistic frame with a sturdy backing board and clear glass.
Measurements: Approximately 11 to 12 inches square.
Condition:Overall excellent antique condition. The cotton fabric exhibits beautiful, natural age-related toning and minor spot discoloration typical of pieces from the early 1900s. The stitching remains tight and vibrant for its age. The glass is fully intact with no chips or cracks, and the textile comes from a smoke-free, clean environment with no musty odors. The frame is structurally sound, though please note the backing board has visible white paint splatters that do not affect the front display. Please review all photos closely as they are part of the description.
