Description

An English Band Sampler. The seventeenth century is considered the Golden Age of samplermaking in England. Samplers created during this period exhibited exquisitely varied stitches, in combination with sophisticated design and color schemes. Martha Wilkin’s band sampler exhibits many of these popular contemporary patterns, including diaper motifs, stylized carnations, acorns, grape and vine leaves, pineapples, daisies, and roses.
