Antique sampler

A charming 1933 embroidered needlework sampler, lovingly stitched by Joyce Garrett and filled with delightful nursery imagery and the sweetest trio of elephants.
The cheerful colours remain wonderfully bright, bringing this piece to life and preserving the innocence and charm of childhood from a bygone era. There is some discolouration to the backing fabric, entirely typical of antique textiles and a gentle reminder of the sampler's age and history.
The embroidery is presented in a simple, narrow ebonised black wooden frame that allows the delicate needlework to take centre stage.
A beautifully evocative piece of social history, perfect for a nursery, child's bedroom or as part of a collection of antique textiles and folk art.
Frame dimensions: 22cm x 30.5cm.
