Description

1 pillow cover 19"w x 15 7/8" l with a black pillow cover topped with 120 cotton rosettes of varying patterns. The overall color impression is warm brown, but I think that is because the black cover bled into the rosettes every time it was washed. There are 6 dull mauve, 4 slate blue and what used to be cream, 6 brick, blue, and cream, 3 maroon and cream, 4 pink, brown, and blue, 8 black, gray, and cream, 6 green squares on cream, 2 medium green spots on cream, 5 pink with tiny red spots, 7 tiny white flowers on medium blue ground, 7 plain medium green, 8 white spots on red ground, 5 green spots on cream ground, 7 red and brown spots on cream ground, 7 light blue with tiny black stripes on cream ground, 4 red and brown on cream ground, 3 cream ground with almost completely washed out spots, 6 brown and cream checkerboard, 4 pink and black on cream ground, 1 blue and yellow rosette. Does that add up to 120? Many of the rosettes on the outside edges have frayed or failed.
