Flower Spot Sampler, mid 17th century

Our beautiful spot sampler is similar to one found in the Goodheart collection at Montacute House. The design in the bottom right corner has been seen on a small cushion from the 17th century auctioned off at Christies a number of years ago. Any of these designs can be used for such a purpose. The reproduction is stitched with either 1, 2 or 3 strands of silk or DMC using back, chain, couching, french knot,Hungarian, flame, long armed cross, tent, double running, queen, and
satin stitches. Formerly in the collection of The Essamplaire.
