LARGE VINTAGE FRAMED ELSA WILLIAMS SAMPLER

This Framed and matted needlework Sampler is copied from an antique in the Colonial Williamsburg collection. Sarah Salter, probably of Marblehead Massachusetts, executed the original in silk embroidery on tabby-woven linen. Sarah Salters name, date of birth, and age have been omitted from the reproduction in this way you may personalize your work. The title of this reproduction, The Farm, was inspired by the embroidered scene at the bottom of the sampler that depicts farm animals and birds coexisting peacefully in the summer. Verse near lower part of sampler reads, " Swift as the sun revolves the day we hasten to the dead. Slaves to the wind we puff away and to the ground we tread. " EXCELLENT CONDITION. Porch pickup from smoke-free home. (GAR).
