Antique Details

Fine 1809 needlework stitched on Bleached linen in the Pennsylvania German tradition. My research leads me to believe this young girls work was done in Pennsylvanian with French influence. This was not uncommon at the time, It appears she was only 9 years old. Conserved framed and mounted.
