Margaret Quackenbush's Canvaswork Fan
Circa 1760

The Quackenbush family emigrated from Holland in the 17th century and the family roots are still firmly planted from New York City to upstate in the Albany area.
This colorful embroidery is in excellent condition with a couple of very minor areas of thread loss. The back and binding are of the same vibrant green wool. The fan measures 10.75-inches by 15.5-inches.
