SDW A GERMAN BAND SAMPLER circa 1710 - The Scarlet Letter
Area is inches, when stitched on 35 count linen is approximately
11.5” x 44.5”.
“This extraordinary band sampler was probably made in Saxony,
in the area of Dresden. Its size, excellent colour and condition,
and the wonderful elements of design- some derived from the classis
pattern books of Sibmacher and Schönsperger, others quite
unprecedented, such as the large Church, make this a unique work
of textile art.
Saxony Band Samplers were made form the late 17th through to
the late 18th century……”
Stitches used are cross and double running.
Recommended for any skill level.
