Sampler (England)
This is a Sampler. It was embroidered by Mary Finkel. It is dated 1730 and we acquired it in 1974. Its medium is silk and linen embroidery on linen foundation and its technique is embroidered in counted satin and double running stitches, needle lace fillings in cut work areas, on plain weave foundation. It is a part of the Textiles department.
This sampler combines hollie point and needle-lace filling stitches, both worked in openings cut in the fine linen foundation. Hollie point leaves spaces in otherwise densely worked buttonhole stitches, while the needle lace is built up from the barest scaffold of threads.
