NO RESERVE-5 DAY AUCTION ENDS THURSDAY-A BUY NOW OFFER IS WELCOME AND ENCOURAGED!....(wonderful color and contrast in person) Being offered with no reserve is this charming 1838 folk art sampler sampler, signed and dated by a very young and talented 7 year old samplermaker!! Mar...tha Stevenson's very visual format features a folky man and woman in fanciful period dress as well as 3 folk art hearts and 4 birds around a wonderfully primitive central tree. Her date and the urns that flank it are done in vibrant blue highlights; and her inscription has a naive flair and even a backward "P" in the word April......Martha also stitched a tidy greek key style horizontal band and a sine wave border on all 4 sides. The entire presentation amazes from the perspective of a young schoolgirl who was only 7. And the folkiness of this large sampler (appx 16x20) really has visual appeal as well as vibrant color and contrast I ENCOURAGE AND WELCOME A BUY NOW OFFER from any passionate sampler collector!.....The fully stitched hem is in an excellent state of preservation as well; and the sampler is conserved in a striking molded frame on acid free board with family info on the reverse....much better in person overall than photos
