ANTIQUE VICTORIAN PAPER PUNCH SAMPLER "HOME SWEET HOME" in its ORIGINAL ANTIQUE ADIRONDACK FRAME This lovely sampler is in good condition considering its age. Paper punch samplers were one the most popular craft items of the Victorian age These samplers included many different mottoes of the time period and became very popular to create by the 1870's. Most were stitched during the 1870's and 1880's. The samplers were sometimes called the "poor woman's samplers" because they were inexpensive to create. Most mottoes were framed with a wooden backing board, the oils leaching out of the wood into the paper have left marks that appear to be water stains. THIS sampler does not appear to have water spots but the paper has browned with age. The sampler alone measures approx. 8 1/2" x 21" The shades of wood thread are burgundy, red, pink, green, and blue/grey. All threads look intact. I counted 15 punch holes per inch paper. Framed measurement 13 1/2" x 26" (from tip of wood crossed corner) The frame includes the original glass, wire hanger and original wood backing. Please note a wood leaf in upper left corner is missing. Please refer to pictures for closer examination of condition. I don't see stains in the paper but there is a small square cut in the punch paper in the lower right corner and paper was added to the right of the motto
