Antique Paintings & Works of Art
Antique oil paintings, watercolours, needlework samplers, and other decorative works of art from the 18th and 19th centuries.
Samplers are pieces of embroidery done as a demonstration of the needlework skills of the maker. They often include the letters of the alphabet, numbers, decorative borders, the name of the maker. The stitching of samplers was also considered a sign of industry and virtue, and girls were taught the art from a young age.
