Item Details

Description

worked in silk and wool and linen, the larger by Ann Lang, dated 1794, with a large turreted Elizabethan house and vine wrapped trees, set behind a stone wall and gates, the garden worked in chenille embroidery, above a verse 'My house it should no other things contain/ But what are useful necessary plain/ Methinks tis nauseous and I'd never endure/ The needless pomp of gaudy furniture/ A little garden grateful to the eye/ And a cool rivulet to run murmuring by/ On those delicious banks a stately row/ Of shady limes or sycamores should grow', with family initials in a meandering vine border, framed; the second with two alphabets above a band of peacocks, flower pots, trees and birds, over a reserved verse by Scottish poet James Beattie, 'One part, one little part we dimly scan/ Through the dark medium of life’s feverish dream/ Yet dare arraign the whole stupendous plan/ If but that little part incongruous seem/ Nor is that part perhaps what mortals deem/ Oft from apparent ills, our blessings rise/ O Then renounce that impious self-esteem/ That aims to trace the secret of the skies/ For thou art but of dust, be humble and be wise', with family initials and coronets, above a large house and dog flanked by trees with birds, with reserved panels below containing a thistle and white rose, framed
