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


Nancy Lock antique sampler from Huber

NANCY LOCK 1806
Lexington, Massachusetts


Labour for learning before thou art old/ For learning is better than filver or gold/ Silver and gold will vanish away/ But learning is a jewel that will never decay.

Nancy stitched a very colorful sampler. Three-sided borders were typical in Middlesex County samplers, but Nancy's stitched unusual elements in hers.

Silk on linen; 14" x 13" sight size.
