Rachel Haas Sampler - Price Upon Request
STEPHEN & CAROL HUBER, Old Saybrook, Conn. — Rachel Haas worked this delightful sampler at age 10. The school mistress created the overall design and the young students did the needlework. This sampler exemplifies the characteristics of other samplers from the Mary Zeller’s School, Philadelphia, 1808. Grounded with traditional motifs and symmetry while being enriched with randomly placed folksy motifs, like the courting couple with a dog, the milking cow and various animals and insects, gives this rare and important sampler a wisp of whimsy. It is worked silk on linen, measuring 18¼ by 18-1/8 inches framed. www.antiquesamplers.com. Stephen & Carol Huber Old Saybrook, CT 860-388-6809 Hubers@AntiqueSamplers.com www.antiquesamplers.com/
