Stephen & Carol Huber: 17th - 19th Century Needlework


Needlework sampler by Daman from Huber

RUTH TILDEN DAMAN
Scituate, MA 1807

Ruth wrought this highly graphic needlework sampler featuring a large center-hall house with fenced yard, flanked by monuments and flowering bushes. Along with various alphabets and charming verse, she stitched the vowels including a W.

Ruth (1795-1855) was the daughter of Calvin Daman (1760-1801) and Mercy Eells (c.1758-1822). She married Harris Damon in 1819 in Scituate and they had eight children.

Her sister stitched an almost identical sampler and colored her house yellow.

Silk on linen; 19 3/8 x 16 inches sight.

Ex-collection Theodore Kapnek.
