Irish linen with Art Deco roses, hand embroidery and painted leaf details. Measures 128cm square. Immaculate, crisp condition; no fading, stains or thread loss.
An unusual Irish linen tablecloth from the 1930s, combining hand embroidery with painted details in a stylised Art Deco rose design. One half of each leaf is tinted with pale green textile paint, an interesting contrast of colour and technique.
The embroidery combines satin stitch, chain stitch and stem stitch in tangerine orange, saffron yellow, forest green and chocolate brown. The edge of the cloth is framed with a stepped, scalloped border with closely spaced, radiating rows of orange running stitches.
In immaculate, crisp condition, with no fading, stains or thread loss. The cloth measures 128cm square (approximately 50 inches).
Good for my sewing projects thank you. Its nice to still get some Nottingham lace. I have family heritage with Nottingham lace-my great grandfather x3 part owned one of the lace factories in Nottingham.
