Needlepoint cross-stitch sampler
Beautifully framed under glass.
Folk embroidery
American needlework sampler, rich with traditional motifs drawn from 18th–early 19th century domestic embroidery. The composition features stylized flowers, birds, animals, and a central house motif—symbols commonly associated with home, faith, and virtue in period samplers. The balanced layout and earthy palette echo the quiet discipline and storytelling nature of original stitched works created by young women as demonstrations of skill and education.
Folk art, early American craftsmanship.
