Needlework Sampler by Margaret Langburn, Pickering School 1842

Early Victorian Needlework Tapestry Sampler. 

Delightful tapestry sampler believed to have been the work of a school pupil from Pickering in North Yorkshire during the early years of Queen Victoria's reign.

This fine work was originally housed within a glazed frame but the frame was damaged.
The sampler has been removed but remains mounted on it's inner frame. This frame was backed with paper which although torn, is marked to the reverse 'Margaret Langburn, 1842 Pickering School'.

We believe the frame was original to the piece and as such the fabric has been protected and is in extremley good condition. We have not found any damage to the work.

Size: Approx. 11.875 x 13.875" from corner to corner of frame

Antique Tapestry Sampler in very good condition.
