An antique French sampler rendered in rose red cross-stitch on cream linen displays an alphabet and numerical sequence across the top, with two ornate monogram artworks featuring interlocking letters positioned in the lower half. The composition follows the traditional sampler format, showcasing the meticulous needlework technique characteristic of 19th-century European domestic craftsmanship, with all elements stitched in a consistent warm mauve-red tone against the neutral background. Bound with 52 pages of 70lb paper, lined or unlined, behind an anti-scuff matte cover with wraparound artwork, made to order. Notes and sketches kept behind an independent artist's work, not a plain composition cover.
