Antique (1870s) Victorian-Era Perforated Paper Punch Embroidery Motto Sampler : No Cross No Crown.
Beautiful. Late 19th Century. Ornamental Gothic Lettering. This specific type of folk art is made using heavy cardstock perforated with tiny uniform holes - punch paper or perforated paper, allowing the maker to stitch precise geometric patterns with colorful wool or silk yarn. Heavily stylized gothic lettering wraps the first words in elaborate floral vines on the left, leading to a stitched large Christian cross in the center, and a stitched royal crown radiating light beams on the right.
Victorian Era Art. Age appropriate distress + discoloration to wood frame. Discoloration to paper. Cardboard backing added at a later time. Ready To Hang. Housed in a distinct antique Tramp Art or Adirondack-style cross-corner wooden frame featuring hand-carved leaf clusters at each corner, highly typical of late 1800s decorative folk art. One of the most popular religious and philosophical slogans of the Victorian Era.
Measurements : 13.5" x 26" x .5"
