Description

This beautifully executed cross-stitch sampler is a masterclass in traditional needlework artistry, featuring an elaborate composition packed with florals, birds, topiary trees, a grand manor house, and a charming outbuilding, all framed within an ornate geometric border. At its heart sits a heartfelt religious verse reading: 'Then to a child dear Lord impart, A humble meek and lowly Heart, O cleanse me by thy precious blood, And fill me with the Love of God,' stitched in elegant script. Worked on natural linen in muted tones of teal, sage, dusty rose, gold, and lavender, the piece has the look and feel of an antique English sampler, though notation on the kraft paper backing suggests it was started April 1983 and completed September 1983 by a named maker. Measuring approximately 26 inches tall by 20 inches wide in its clean, well-joined walnut-toned wood frame, this stunner is display-ready and would be right at home in a colonial, cottage, or traditional interior.
