Early Nineteenth Center Sampler Of Silk On Linen - Price Upon Request
STEPHEN & CAROL HUBER, Old Saybrook, Conn. — Much has been written about Hunterdon County, N.J., samplers. See A Sampling Of Hunterdon County Needlework by Dan and Marty Campanelli. Their incredible research and efforts have brought numerous Hunterdon County samplers out of the shadows. This example, to date, is the earliest one known from this classic Hunterdon County “Collared Deer” group and simply one of the best. Thisby Britton is a second cousin to Fanny Britton whose sampler is pictured on the front cover of Dan and Marty’s above-mentioned book. Thisbe Britton (1804-1826), Hunterdon County, N.J., was the daughter of Samuel Britton (1779-1814) and Sarah Curtis. Thisby was probably in her early teens when she worked this sampler of silk on linen, 16¾ by 20¾ inches framed, 13-7/8 by 17-7/8 inches sight, circa 1818. She died at the young age of 21. www.AntiqueSamplers.com Stephen & Carol Huber Old Saybrook, CT 860-388-6809 Hubers@AntiqueSamplers.com www.antiquesamplers.com/
