Description:
Rectangular tablecloth in ecru linen with filet lace around the edges with phytomorphic and spiral motifs. Rectangular openwork centre with filet lace featuring the same pattern. Decorated corners.
The particularity of this tablecloth is that the filet applications, both in the central part and along the edges, were made in a single piece. Hence the need for frames of considerable size. Numerous stitches were used in the embroidery giving proof of the great technical ability and skills of the embroideresses. In addition, the tiny squares of the mesh were made using a very thin cotton thread.
