Description

PLACE MAT WITH CHECKERBOARD CENTER DESIGN AND CIRCULAR PIERCED BORDER Color: White One of a set of six placemats, ca. 1920s. The white linen mat has a checkerboard design at center with a border featuring pierced circular designs and the lines of the checkerboard done in simple stitching making eighteen blocks. The border of the mat is the same design of circular piercing as at the center. There are no other identifying features to the mat, which has no discernible staining, damage, or wear and is, therefore, in good condition.
