Seller: pennythistle ✉️ (1,258) 100%, Location: East Lothian, GB, Ships to: WORLDWIDE, Item: 332278127650 Antique late Georgian Scottish sampler Janet McDonald 1832. Charming early 19th Scottish sampler.  Worked by 'Janet McDonald' and dated '1832' - see images.  Unframed. Janet's name and the date are difficult to read from the images as the thread is very pale in colour.  These details show up better in the actual sampler. The sampler has many of the recognised features of Scottish samplers of this period.  There is a double letter alphabet, numerous family initials and many Scottish motifs including a house, peacocks, lions and a rabbit - see images.  There is also a stylised strawberry border. The sampler threads have faded over the years and a small patch of the stitching has gone but otherwise it is in very good condition.  It has been framed at some time in the past and shows small rust marks around the edge on the reverse side. Presumably from the metal pins which may have held it in the frame.  The sampler measures 17 ins x 10 1/2 ins.  These measurements do not include the 1/4 inch border of the sampler which has been tucked under.
