Traditional, original antique needlework sampler.
Worked in cross stitch it has the usual alphabet with a verse.
Motifs are flowers, trees bird and 2 fire breathing dragons!
The verse reads-
Preserve me Lord amidst the crowd
From ev'ry thought that's vain and proud
And make my wand'ring eyes to see
Hoe good it is to trust in Thee.
It measures approx 13'' / 33cm x 13'' / 33cm.
There has been some fading over time and there is some browning of the material, particu;arly round the bottom.
A few missing stitches on the G and the U.
No sign of insect holes.
