| MINIATURE SAMPLER |
| Miniature antique samplers are a rare find. Their purpose is still somewhat mysterious, although some speculate they are made on childish whims to decorate doll houses. From a child's point of view, they might not have seemed all that tiny. Ours comes from a private American collection and, like the original, is worked in red silk in cross stitch over one thread, on linsey-woolsey. It is mounted on matching claret-colored velvet, included with each kit. |
