Weaving Sampler
Weaving Sampler
Samplers were the perfect way for weavers and embroiderers to hone their skills. In indigenous Taiwanese communities a woman's status was determined by her weaving talents, so practice was very important. This sampler shows off traditional Taiwanese motifs woven into the natural cotton ground with indigo-dyed cotton threads. Twenty-eight small sections of designs are contained by a top and bottom border. Most are geometric, like the eight-point star and diamonds, and some are pictorial.

Keep in mind ...
Our vintage and antique pieces have traveled throughout the world and survived decades - maybe even centuries - of use. Do not expect them to be in perfect or *new* condition. Signs of their past makers and owners may be noticeable such as small holes, loose threads, & stains. In our opinion, this adds to their charm!
