Lot 392
A William IV stitch work sampler - Elizabeth Rees's work, aged 12 years, Carmarthen, June the 21 1830, with motto to centre, trees etc, excellent overall colour 15" x 12" £150-200

The sampler is in very good order overall. There are no holes or tears and whilst the background is discoloured the stitching appears to be dull but it is not bleached of colour, for example the greens are still distinguishable but what I consider would have been red when sewn is now brown.
