Cora Arnold Sampler approximate size: 15 1/2" x 17 1/2"
Stitch-work sampler framed in a black and beaded gold framed. Hand-stitched on 100% linen, this beautiful sampler could be mistaken as an original. It is carefully antiqued and period framed to give a historic perception.
Girls were taught to embroider at an early age. They began by embroidering letters from the alphabet and then colorful designs. Any girl that could not exhibit a sampler was considered very poorly educated. The samplers often formed the chief ornament of a sitting room or parlor.
