This charming antique alphabet sampler from the 19th century is a fine example of early schoolgirl needlework. Lovingly hand-stitched, this piece showcases multiple styles of the English alphabet — both upper and lower case on a natural linen.
Framed in a period dark wood frame, the sampler reflects the educational and domestic training of young girls during the 1800s, who were often taught needlework as part of their formal instruction. The balanced layout, decorative motifs, and varying font styles highlight both artistic expression and technical skill. Papered over the back of the frame by the last owner{replacing the old wood board}- this is a beautiful sampler, with all the stories and charm of centuries past.
