American Schoolgirl Samplers

& Their Family Histories

Please join us for our in-house show in conjunction with Winterthur's exhibition of American needlework with strong family associations, Who's Your Daddy, and the conference of the same name in mid October.

Along with samplers and silk embroideries from our own inventory, we are thrilled to announce that we have the honor of featuring an important loan exhibition, American family records and related samplers

from the renowned private collection belonging to the founder of antiquesamplers.org.

The samplers that will be with us on loan allow an exclusive opportunity for collectors and needleworkers to admire and appreciate, and from which to gain an education, which is much of the focus of that website.

The needlework we will offer for sale includes a fine collection of American samplers which will decorate the 2nd floor gallery. Many of these are notable for their genealogy and family histories, and will closely relate to the exhibitions and lectures at Winterthur. Many fine English, Dutch, French and Italian samplers will be available on the 1st floor, as well.

We look forward to having you at our shop, on Historic Antiques Row, for wine and refreshments. For exact location, parking information, and directions see our website. For questions or information regarding train schedules please email us or give us a call at 215.627.7797.
