England, 19th century
black painted frame size: 6¼" x 5¾" •
mahogany frame size: 7" x 6¼" BOTH SOLD •
Sets of small tiles made of bone and inscribed with letters of the alphabet were produced in the 19th century as teaching tools for children. We offer two framed sets of alphabets, as we enjoy the obvious graphic relationship that these have to samplers. The frames are 19th century as well.
