Elizabeth Robins Sampler w/ House 1819

Price: SOLD -- Thank You!

Elizabeth Robins needlework sampler, “worked in. the 13th year of her age 1819.” The sampler includes 1 complete alphabet, a second partial alphabet (A-X – she just ran out of space), the numbers 1-11 (plus a random 3), her age and the date and several small images at the bottom, including a basket of flowers, a tree, a person walking a dog(?), and a 2-story house (note that the house and the flower basket are basically the same size!). Elizabeth put a nice border of trees and strawberries around the piece. It is very neatly stitched in green, light blue, brown/tan, white and pink. It measures 8 ¾” x 11 ¾” (sight) and is frame in a contemporary frame (12 ¼” x 15”). No indication where Elizabeth may have lived and the name is too common to search without other data points. Very fine condition with no holes, tears, staining or missing stitches. Elizabeth must have been very proud of this work.
