{"product_id":"antique-linen-bedspread-banquet-cloth-c-1915","title":"Antique Linen Bedspread \/ Banquet Cloth, c. 1915","description":"\u003cp\u003eA large antique white linen bedspread, circa 1910–1920. Measuring 240 × 174cm, it has a broad central floral cartouche and matching corner sprays worked in early machine-guided satin-stitch whitework. Parallel rows of hand-drawn ladder hemstitching frame the design, and a continuous scalloped edge finishes the perimeter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe mid-weight linen and generous proportions allow it to be used as a bedspread or as a large tablecloth, subject to the dimensions of your bed or table. It retains considerable decorative presence, but has wear, repairs and marks, all reflected in the price.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere are small, visible holes worn right through the plain linen at the outer corners. The ladder hemstitching near the edges has multiple broken vertical bars and earlier stabilising stitches. One embroidered openwork cartouche has a rather clumsy hand-darned structural repair, visible on close inspection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe white linen remains generally bright, but there is a small cluster of dark brown spots near one corner, previously described as storage or iron pin-spots. There is also a distinct, faint yellowish-tan stain within the foliage of the embroidered cartouche border. These marks are noted in the detail photographs; their cause is not confirmed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOffered in structurally stable antique condition, with the faults described above. Please examine the photographs alongside these condition notes before purchasing.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Penelope Textiles Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57726515937660,"sku":"PT-ANT-LIN-013","price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0777\/2884\/2001\/files\/IMG_9250.jpg?v=1792353060","url":"https:\/\/www.penelopetextiles.com\/products\/antique-linen-bedspread-banquet-cloth-c-1915","provider":"Penelope Textiles Ltd","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
