For sale is this wonderful early sampler. It is signed, Elizabeth Welps Bath, and dated 1804. The piece measures 14 x 14 1/2. I believe the piece has been remounted and protected. The sampler has ABC's both upper and lower case and numbers. Then it goes into verse "Honor thy Father with thy whole heart and forget not how comst thou recompens the things they have done for thee. There is but one way of forfeiting the soul against all gloomy pref?? and terrors of mlind and that is by securing ourselves the friendship and protection of that being who disposes of ever governs futures. (I had trouble reading some of the letters and probably do not have the saying exact). Then you go into alphabets again and then it is signed and dated. The sampler has trees and flowers and a border. It is not without damage, there are 5 larger holes, I have pictured the largest and about 5 or 6 smaller ones. As I mentioned before, I believe this sampler has been mounted to protect it from further damage. The fabric and stitching are very fine.

For sale is this great geometric hooked rug. The rug measures 40 x 25. The colors are bright and clean. The rug has some fraying on the edges, you can see in the picture that the binding is loose. In a couple places you can see where it is very thin in between the pattern-you can put your finger in there. These are weak spots.
