This is a very rare, attractive and special antique religious punch paper sampler featuring a picture of Jesus. This piece is unusually small for a punch paper. I have never seen anything like it before. The entire piece has been hand-done by needlepoint.

| The fancy and shapely needlepoint design features a cross and crown at the top, incorporated within an arch, and decorative work below. The picture is well-defined and the colors are bright and vibrant. The entire punch paper has beautiful details throughout. The needlepoint is nearly perfect with just a few missing threads. There is a very small discoloration on the punch paper towards the center right hand side and one near the bottom. The punch paper has a tiny perforation at the very edge, near Jesus’ hand. Also, partially covered by the frame, there are two little rows of punch paper that are missing at the very bottom right and left hand corner of this piece, approx. ¾" in length. Overall, these small and very minuet imperfections do not detract from the beauty of this special and wonderfully rare antique. Original, gold-painted molded wood frame with original black trim. The frame is in excellent original condition. Original glass and old wire hanger. Circa 1920’s. |
