Royal House Antiques

Royal House Antiques is delighted to offer for salethisfine, 1834 dated silk-work / stump-work sampler made during the reign of King William IV in an accompanying Rosewood framewith a later gallery label where it was sold some 30 years ago

Worked in wool and silk on a fine linen ground, using a variety of stitches including petit point. The sampler features a decorative meandering floral border and a castle scene, with attractive period colours including green, cream, pale green, pink, gold, olive green, grey, magenta and brown.

The sampler incorporates the verse entitled “CONFIDENCE IN GOD”:

“All that spring with bounteous hand scatters o’er the smiling land All that liberal autumn pours from her rich o’erflowing stores These to thee my God we owe source whence all our blessing flow And for these my soul shall raise grateful vows and solemn praise Should thine altered hands strain the early and the latter rain Blast the opening bud of joy and the rising year destroy Yet to thee my voice shall raise in grateful vows and solemn praise And when every blessing flowers love thee for thyself alone.”

Signed and dated, although part of the signature is now indistinct: “Age 11 AD 1834 Work’d at Mrs Bond’s West Derby”

Presented in an old frame with gilt slip and glass. The sampler is stitched to linen over a wooden stretcher frame with card backing and brown paper dust cover.

This piece is much rarer than a normal sampler having stumpwork incorporated all over, the 17th Century examples of this type of work sell in the tens of thousands of pounds

Condition wise the piece is period perfect, it has normal age and use related patina but its much better than normal, the colours are alive and vibrant

Royal House Antiques cannot accept responsibility forassumptions or interpretations made independently by buyers. If there is anyaspect of the listing that requires clarification, we are always happy toassist.

As with all genuine antiques, vintage, and periodpieces, signs of age and use should be expected. Antique leather furniture, inparticular, will naturally display patina, creasing, and wear consistent withits age.

To preserve antique leather, we recommend annualwaxing to maintain suppleness and prevent moisture loss. Hand-dyed leathershould also be kept away from prolonged direct sunlight, as exposure may causefading and drying over time.

Multiple-item purchases often qualify for substantialdelivery discounts, and we will be pleased to provide a combined quotation.

Import Duty & Customs

Many countries impose import duties and taxes onincoming goods. However, due to the age, category, and materials of many of ouritems, exemptions often apply.

For European deliveries, quotations typically includeall customs documentation and clearance charges, ensuring there are nounexpected costs upon arrival.

For destinations outside Europe, including the UnitedStates, customs duties or clearance fees may occasionally be payable. While themajority of shipments pass through customs without issue, any duties, taxes, orimport-related charges remain the sole responsibility of the purchaser as theimporter of record.

These charges cannot be covered by Royal HouseAntiques or the shipping company and cannot be offset through retrospectivediscounts.
