Description
From the sellerThis beautiful cross stitch sampler from 1889 depicts alphabet and numbers and a schoolhouse with weeping willows and birds. Has some browning due to age but otherwise in good condition. It is framed but the frame is not the original. It’s in good shape just not antique. The pictures show both the front and back of the sampler. Overall measurement 12” x 12”. The story of the weeping willow is ancient representation of grief and loss while the birds are symbolic of freedom and hope. Often depicted together in both European and Chinese history.
