Dated '1736', but no name mentioned. A good set of motifs, including Adam & Eve standing either side of the tree of life with a snake coiled around its trunk, fruit basket, potted flowering plants, a dog and a peacock. Framed in an old, burr maple frame with rippled, old glass. Mounting: The sampler is stitched to linen. Frame backed with wood and sealed with tape.. Dimensions exclude the frame and slip.
