For sale is a fabulous antique folk art fraktur on lined paper that depicts a rather fanciful bird that I acquired at an outdoor market in Pennsylvania, and that I believe may have been made there as well, although I'm not completely positive. The bird sits on a branch with other flora to its left, and the name "Rebecca, D, Yohe, Born April 5, 1871. The piece was removed for examination and to add acid free backing and writing on the back says "(Given name) Mabel Shaley, Baby born Sept the 21, 1890." I am not sure of the connection, if any, between that information and the fraktur itself. The piece is housed in a nice antique frame with the original glass, and that is how I purchased it. The framed piece measures about 13" x 11", with sight measurements of 9 1/2" x 7 1/2". The bird itself is about 4 1/2" long. The fraktur is in nice antique condition, with some toning and a few spots, as well as folds, possibly indicating that it was stored in a book. The frame also shows age, but no significant issues, and of course, the paper backing and wire hanger are new replacements. Please look carefully at the pictures, and contact me with any questions, or for additional photos.

Dtd.1806 Sgnd. Sampler w/ Poem, Birds, Flowers++

For sale is a wonderful antique sampler that I acquired from a sale in Pennsylvania, although I think that it might be English, as there is what looks like a crown at the bottom. I believe the sampler is done in silk thread on homespun linen. The piece is signed "Mary Gribbens's Sampler made in 1806", and there is a poem at the top that says "May I with innocence & peace, My fleeting moments spend, And when the tolls of life shall case (cease), With calmness meet my end." Elements of the design include birds, several types of flowers, trees, and what I think are sheep that are each inside a box at the bottom. It has a floral vine border, and is housed in a fairly modern black painted frame that makes a nice presentation. The framed sampler measures about 19 3/4" x 17 3/4" with sight measurements of 16 1/4" x 14 1/4".
