Patterns for Stockings
Early 19th c

A most unsual sampler. I think this would offer the client a choice of patterns for their knitted stockings. 


Cataloguing

The long narrow tube like length knitted with twenty one different open samples, one end with four very small and fine samples, all in cream cotton.



4ft 7 in x 1 3/4 in ; 1.4 m x 4 cm.


Condition

Basically very good condition. There are a few very very light brown markings, which maybe damp marks. No damage or holes.
