Description

Tablecloth: Large circular linen tablecloth. Cloth has pulled thread and white hand embroidered flower and leaf designs at the center of the tablecloth. The same design is repeated around the scalloped edge of the cloth. Handwork is very beautiful and done by a skilled craftsperson. Blanket stitch along outer edge is broken in several places but is not in danger of unraveling, and breaks are not visible for display purposes. Seller felt certain that the tablecloth was made in Switzerland. Needs steaming to remove unwanted creases. Overall physical condition and appearance is good.
