A really beautiful miniature silk thread sampler for putting in the back of a pair cased pocket watch of the Georgian period…. Made by a wife or girlfriend as a LOVE TOKEN for the gentleman to remember them by everyday as they opened the watch. Colours may differ due to any flash used. Please check the postal DATE mark on the package when you get it. Here is a Georgian period hand made delicate miniature SAMPLER…. Made from silk threads… As you can see it has a pretty curved edge in blue… Then a cream inner band and a cream background on which is a vase of flowers…… The colours have faded somewhat and I can see brown, reds, fawn, beige and green. This one is not dated and it has not got any initials on it… But please be assured it is still of the Georgian period….. It was in the back of a silver pair cased pocket watch with a date of 1786. A pair cased pocket watch has an outer case.. These fit in that case so the back of the actual silver pocket watch does not scratch on the outer case… It makes a snug fit…. This is where you find the pocket watch “endpapers” too when they get mended. These miniature samplers were made by wives and girlfriends so as a reminder of them whilst trravelling etc… It is 1 and 3/4 inch dia. See close up pictures for more details and condition.
