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


Burlington County, NJ sampler by Ann Borton from Stephen and Carol Huber

ANN BORTON
Burlington County, NJ dated 1820

Ann worked this unique beautifully designed graphic sampler using carnations, columbines, and roses to enhance her meandering vine borders. The symmetry of the couples, birds, and butterflies grounded by a house and a centered cartouche topped with a lone squirrel is very appealing. The sampler is inscribed: Ann Borton New Jersey/ 1820 below a beautiful verse intended to nurture a deeper sensitivity and reverence for nature, life, and death.




Ann, born Feb. 20, 1810, was the daughter of Josiah and Margaret Sharp Borton of Evesham, Burlington County, NJ

Silk on linen; 20" x 21 1/2" sight.
