Can anybody help me with this, what I presume to be an Egyptian Sampler ? It is approximately 3' x 2' wide. I picked it up in a Charity shop for 50p about 5 years ago. I have taken photos of what I think is its date. Neil
Is it printed or it is sewn?
It's sewn. Neil

Wow some link that was, I have spent the last hour trawling that link from Celiene. Still not sure how to approach the findings as there is no contact address and I'm not sure if my sampler is that old. Again I need help in what direction I need to go. Neil
Not sure whether the sampler is Egyptian or Persian, help is required please. Neil
Thanks again Celiene. Your link to Miriam provided me with the info I needed so apparently it is more Greek Ottoman than Egyptian/Persian. Off to the V&A for hopefully more information. Thanks Neil
