Brown Family Memorial Sampler.
Circa 1835.

Memorial and family register samplers were for some reason more popular in America than England. A note on the reverse of the sampler tells us that it was embroidered by Anna Maria Brown (1822 - 1900). Worked through a linen backing the sampler is enclosed within a floral border. A large urn gives family details and is surrounded by two weeping willow trees in shaded long and short stitch.

Contained in a period black ebonised frame.Size: 17 x 18 ins
