LUISE SCHUTZ, 1901
This darning sampler was probably made in Germany, and is
executed with fine and coarse aniline dyed wools on a linen ground. The sampler
has suffered some color bleed over the years.
It has never been framed: the color bleed could be the result of having been
stored in a damp place.
The various stitches demonstrated across the top, and the complex pattern darns,
show a high level of expertise.
The sampler measures 12-3/8"x13-1/2", $125
