1870rif. 24000Belgium ca1870. As accomplished; removed from a frame. There is some browning and minor staining all treatable but overall in generally fresh condition; fading and spotting minor stains to the color silk borders. There are NO rips tears losses etc. A magnificent 7 feet 5" x 11 inch sewing sampler exhibiting skill for lace making and associated decorative and serviceable sewing patterns. Cotton and silk pattern "panels" each appx. 7" long are imaginatively stitched in train making up the length of the sampler; mounted to a cotton backing; edged with color dyed silk satin finish borders. Ideally meant to be rolled and un-rolled for presentation Originating in a pre-WWII English collection. An extraordinary survival - at over 7 feet long - and as such most unusual. A demonstration sampler for a young girl having completed an advanced course of instruction and showing what she was capable of producing. One of the panels in the sampler attests to this by having the designation "2 Cours" utilized as stitched decoration. In addition to the more "common" decorative stitching patterns are examples of fine hand stitched lace decorative ruffled patterns etc. All executed with precision and exquisite skill. A similar sampler was sold in July 2018 at the provincial auction house of Hanson in the UK. Their description stated the item was "unique" and originated at Childonck convent in Flanders. The name is embroidered on one of the panels of their sampler and on a panel of the one being offered here; the selection of styles lace patterns embroidery etc. make the two appear similar. By the time this sampler was finished machine made lace with applied hand-made motifs challenged more expensive hand-made production. From the mid-16th century lace was the latest thing in textiles and female artisans of Flanders produced some of the most precious examples. The history of lace is one of predominantly women's craftsmanship. The church was historically a steady customer. By the late 19th century by "look" there was essentially no difference yet the demands of fashion and cachet of real lace as a signifier of status and wealth continued to drive demand for the true hand work. See chapter 11 in Cormack / Majer Threads of Power; Frieda Sorber P. Laces: Looking Through Antwerp Lace. unknown books

rif. 145237Bas-Rhin Alsace France 1818. Broadside approx. 10½ × 8¼ inches. Ink manuscript on laid paper with red ink and pencil illustrations; watermark visible. Folded with creases light soiling irregular trimming and minor edge wear not affecting text or decoration; very good. Offered with: One-page German manuscript on matching laid paper with identical watermark also dated 1818. Folded with creases and a small perforation not affecting text; very good. Curious and crudely executed folk art this 1818 German-language taufschein baptismal certificate is decorated in ink and pencil. The text records the birth in “Diemringen” and baptism in “Rathsweiler” likely Ratzwiller a village near Diemringen in Bas-Rhin Alsace. Fitting the baptismal theme it features a chicken and egg motif symbolizing creation and new life. The opening lines in German transcription approximate read: “I’ve been baptized and registered The Book of Life includes me now My Father will love me eternally / And be merciful to His child / God surely knows me already for a long time / My name rests in His hand.” Alternating lines circles and triangles frame the text in an abstract border with the chicken and egg motif placed prominently at the top. Square blocks of color in each corner may suggest a picture frame or reference the brass bosses found on elaborately bound 18th- and 19th-century Bibles. Accompanying the taufschein is a one-page untranslated German manuscript written on matching laid paper with an identical watermark also dated 1818. Both items appear to have originated in Bas-Rhin and were acquired together from an estate in Lancaster County Pennsylvania—an area of early German-speaking settlement. The family may have emigrated from Alsace after the post-Napoleonic upheaval of 1815 when widespread political and economic instability spurred migration. The watermark on both sheets is of the “Vryheyt” “Freedom” type used in Holland and later copied in England Sweden and the United States; see Churchill’s Watermarks in Paper nos. 79–108. The full watermark—visible on the illustrated sheet—depicts a lion holding a stave within a crowned circle possibly encircled by the motto “Pro Patria Eiusque Libertate.” unknown
