Another New Auction
An antique French embroidered textile, likely a family record sampler or “Tableau de Famille,” executed in cross-stitch and other needlework techniques. The piece features a central block of genealogical information framed by a decorative floral border and scattered floral and bird motifs. It records the names Amand Lambert (born in Willerzie, January 6, 1863) and Marie Henrard (born in Willerzie, May 7, 1862), along with their children Maria (born June 19, 1888), Esther (born June 18, 1890), and Léa (born July 11, 1901). The textile is worked on a light-colored ground fabric, likely linen or cotton, with various colored embroidery threads. The style suggests a late 19th to early 20th-century period.
