Late 17th Century Flemish Bobbin Lace Flounce, with floral design overall comprising two pieces stitched together, 30cm by 440cmProvenance: Collection of Agnes Briscoe (Née Ralph) enjoyed a lifelong passion for lace and making lace. She was born in 1841 in Settle, North Yorkshire, her parents were both independently wealthy, having set up and owning their own businesses. Agnes married John Jonathan Briscoe in 1863 in Austwick and lived at Bridge House, Starbotton, having four children.Agnes collected lace throughout her life, understanding the intricacies of making it, which she continued to do till the end of her life in December 1918. Her granddaughter Viscountess Selby remembered how Agnes, despite being wheel chair bound at the end of her life, spent her time putting a lace border on every pillowcase and tablecloth in the home.In 1955 Mrs Briscoe-George (Agnes' youngest child) bought Norris Castle on the Isle of Wight where the lace was later housed. In the 1970's it became open to the public and the lace collection was on display in the circular drawing room in the tower. In 2016 Norris Castle was passed out of the family. £200 - 300

A Rare Early 19th Century Tasmanian Sampler Titled 'Lines on a Lady' made by a student at 'The Queens Female Orphagn School Van Diemens Land, 1838' worked on a fine hemmed gauze. This exceptional sampler needs to be seen to appreciate its dainty proportions and finely executed stitching, displaying decorative motifs as hearts, crowns, flowering trees, stars etc, 15cm by 16.5cmVan Diemens Land or Tasmania as it was later known, was mainly occupied by convicts and many felt at the time that it was one of the most fearsome and terrible of destinations.The orphanage (1833-79) was the first purpose built institution on the island for orphaned, destitute and neglected children in the New Town, many were born to convict women. A quote from the period on the conditions; 'the children are cold comfortless, and ill arranged upon a most mistaken system of parsimonious economy...the prevalence of stone pavement, throughout the lower apartments of the building is, in our humble opinion, highly detrimental to the health of the inmates, in one room we saw five little fellows blue and shivering with cold, there was it is true a fireplace in the room, but no fire....We have seen many assemblages of children in our time...but never did we see two hundred human beings, that exhibited so squalid an appearance, as did the majority of the Queen's Orphans'Needlework was seen as a way of importing a work ethic and self discipline. In 1838 a flat basket made up of embroidered circular panels, in the same style as our sampler, was presented to Lady Jane Franklin who was wife of the Lt Governor at the time, Sir John Franklin. This basket is now owned by the Tasmanian Museum and Art Gallery. £600 - 800
