English Silk Samplers (PAIR) Early - 19th Century




Item History & Price

Information:
Reference Number: Avaluer:15322UPC: Does Not Apply
Original Description:
Pre-1850 original English ‘Lacy’ sister samplers (samplings). They are both silk on silk (fabric & thread) and beautifully complimented in matching period original black wood framing. Original backing. Both (2) pieces are being offered here as a pair due to the relationship of the girls who did the work and for their similarities in coloring and format. As such, I believe they should continue to be collected as a pair. They are each in VERY GOOD, ready-to-hang condition, but do exh...ibit some minor, near unavoidable flaws from age and light (see photos). The thin brown paper backings of both pieces show prior repairs from delicate tearing likely incurred during hanging, but these sort of imperfections are typical, yet better than most from the period.
Received new information on these and felt compelled to revise this listing for accuracy:The sisters and their parents were evidently all born in England. Eliza was born and died in England and Caroline was born in England in 1820 and died in Guelph, Ontario, Canada 1909. Caroline was born in England in 1820 and died in Canada in 1909.
The invoice from the last time they were purchased in 1977 is on the back of Eliza’s work contains information that cannot be validated and should not be a consideration of value. The inscription is written as follows:“Two American samplers. c. 1780-1810. Made by Caroline Lacy, the Great-Grandmother of Meg Lacy (President(sp?) of Corning Glass [Works]), and her great aunt, Eliza.”

Please be sure you’ve reviewed all photos and inquire directly if you have additional questions before bidding to ensure all expectations are met. Both pieces will be packed with care and shipped within 48hrs of receiving payment for the winning bid. Thanks for looking!
