This is a large rare antique Victorian "Home Sweet Home" punch paper sampler motto. The stitchery is outstanding. The colors are bright and vibrant. This is a large and unusual punch paper sampler. The fancy lettering, vines and flowers are beautifully done and the stately home with detailed landscape make this a hard to find piece. This wonderful piece has decorative glitter throughout and special metallic silver threads to give a sparkly affect. The silver foil behind the punch paper gives this piece an enchanting look. The carved dark wood frame with decorative gold inset and the old wavy glass are original to the piece. The wood back and eye hooks are also original.
