This artwork is a handmade needlepoint embroidery sampler created by SARAH KEITLEY of "Campden" on April 3, 1816. It is unclear if Sarah was from Campden, South Carolina which was made famous from a 1780 Revolutionary War Battle, long before (1828) Camden, (different spelling) New Jersey was incorporated. Or it could have been from "Campden", the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea in West London, England. There was yet another possibility with a "Campden" near the Niagara Falls on the Canadian side. With that said, it was probably from South Carolina because of its early date (1826).

This traditional piece was made in the United States. The intricate stitching and detailed motifs showcased on this piece are a testament to the craftsmanship of that era. Green and gold colored threads were used in the sampler. It is a unique collectible item that showcases intricate stitching and craftsmanship from the early 1800's era. Perfect for collectors or those interested in vintage linens and textiles, this piece is a timeless and beautiful addition to any home.

At the top third is the alpha-numeric listing of letters and numbers, then the verse is about "VICE" and says "Vice is a monster of so frightful mien. As to be hated needs but to be seen; Yet seen too oft, familiar with her face, We first endure, then pity, then embrace."

The artwork is beautifully custom framed using acid-free materials to ensure that it will last many generations from now. The overall framed dimensions are 14" tall x 15" wide and the sampler measures 8.5" inches wide x 7.5" high. The framing material is gold with the matting a beige color.

The custom framing alone costs over $200.
