Julia Wiggin-aged 15
Linsey-Woolsey Sampler
Silk threads worked on a linen warp, wool
weft dyed green; hemmed on all sides
New Hampshire
Circa 1802
The dark green background affords the composition great depth and contrast while the saw tooth border frames the work. The stylized basket containing layered flowers, bud and leaves above apposing meandering vines and foliage is dramatic; other layered floral, bud and vine motifs fill what was is traditionally negative space. A genealogical search suggests that Julia may have been born to Simon and Hanna Wiggin (nee Hannah Rundlett) at Stratham, Rockingham County, New Hampshire in February, 1787. (View area: 12 by 16.75-inches; add 1.75-inches for the modern burl walnut frame. The needlework is conservation mounted.

Bead, Wirework and Stumpwork On White Satin
King Charles...and his queen, Catherine
Circa 1660-1670
This 17th century embroidery is a wonderful piece of raised work drawn and wrought on ivory silk satin; with “worked up” three-dimensional 'raised' elements that were stitched and padded with wool or cotton. Tiny features such as hands and feet were created with wire armatures then wrapped in silk threads and applied to the design. Brushed velvet presents lush texture as lawn beneath the castle. Charles himself his shown in hat and wears a sword; incredible raised work costume down to the silver thread shoe buckles. The Queen wears small pearl and pink beads with her long hair falling on the double lace collar adorning her intricate raised work gown detailed with lace cuffs; pleated gown is finely woven of flat and coiled silver wire and threads. The flat, padded; layered and detached designs are many; recumbent stag, lion, birds, squirrels...all beneath the grand castle. A spotted dog with wirework and beaded collar chases the faster hare. The work with sequins background demonstrates the makers ability and proficiency...working within multifarious stitches, knots, techniques and materials. Considering the dictionary of motif and quality of this effort many of us are accepting of the vestige; the work remains in very decent condition with typical losses, soiling and thread deterioration. Overall a pleasing and lovely aesthetic mounted within a period Hogarth frame. (View area: 10.75 by 15.5-inches)
