Antique Needlework Sampler

New England, United States. Depiction of an early American house and thriving garden. Multiple species of floral and fauna decorate the field. Worked on fine linen, it features delicate hand embroidery in a soft, tonal spring palette of subtle greens, faded rose, and pale gold. Within the central wreath a signature reads “Mary S. Lippenscott sampler wrought in the year 1829.” Condition good for age, areas of overall discoloration adds a warm patina. Some evidence of faint water stains. Collectible, ideal for framing and display.
