Description: Antique Victorian Paper Sampler PUNCHWORK Religious Motto "SWEET REST IN HEAVEN" Click images to enlarge Description ANTIQUE FRAMED PUNCHWORK MOTTO SAMPLER Striking framed under glass antique Victorian punchwork or Berlinwork embroidered motto measuring about 29-1/4" wide and 15" deep. Frame has gold accenting on the molded trim and punchwork is accented with a pink matte to compliment the tones - there is a piece of foil or similar behind the punchwork to give it a bit of sparkle - this is an antique sampler that was reframed. Punchwork was a popular type of embroidery during the last half of the 19th century - punched paper with printed patterns would be completed at home - this is a particularly nice piece with lovely soft colors, and a religious themed motto or bible verse stating "SWEET REST IN HEAVEN." Condition is very nice with no damage to the punchwork - when viewed from an angle, you can see the faintest hint of a soft fold - I tried to show it in the photo, but it is very difficult to see. Sampler has no tears, holes, loss, bug damage or fading - frame has minor age related display wear with a tiny nick off one corner - back is covered in sturdy paper and image was framed in the 1980s in Morgan Hill, California. Just a wonderful piece - beautiful colors and a moving verse - lovely addition to any home or collection! Please note -- images taken with and without flash to bring out the detail - any white spots are a result of reflection from the glass. If questions, please contact me - thanks! Pictures sell!
