Yours looks in better condition and is prettier.
The interest for me was the background information in the programme.

What programme??

What sort of value did they give it?  Asking for Emily.   :)

I have been told around £400-£500 ☺️

de MONS perhaps ????

Maybe they would be interested??

It’s quite possible, but I can’t speak French, so have no idea what the website is saying.

These look like pieces cut from other items and appliqued on rather than pieces that have been done especially for it. No less attractive for that. It's the same principle I have used making cushions from scraps of vintage fabric. I can perhaps see why it wouldn't be of interest to a museum though. A class project I expect. Maybe it was to go over an altar?

Hello. ☺️ I can guarantee that your description isn’t the case. I’ve had it looked at by professionals, and they have all agreed that each piece was made by a student, and then they were all attached together as a reference. The first section says Cours, which means lesson or teach in French. They haven’t been cut from vintage items.

@Emily  Is there a link to the video?

I’ve added the link, but it won’t let me play it for some reason. I’ll add some more photos.

The photo isn't clear enough to be sure, but it looks as though quite a lot of the pieces ae needle lace.
If so the Lace Guild might be interested.

I think I’ve added a video of the sampler, which may help with identifying the sections. ☺️

Not even a needlework museum?

There’s only one here and they don’t want it.

It looks as if it ought to be in a museum.

I’d love it to be exhibited, but because it’s french, no one will have it as it has no historical  connection to England.

  Hi everyone,

I thought I’d post this here, as no one around me is interested in embroidery or textiles, and those that might be are sick of hearing about it.
