Description and Details
This antique Victorian Irish linen bedspread is a refined example of traditional white linen needlework. The central field is embroidered with padded and raised whitework trailing flowers, giving the pattern a subtle sculptural lift that stands out against the smooth linen ground. The raised embroidery provides texture and depth while keeping the classic all white Victorian aesthetic.
The floral centre is set within a band of drawn thread work, a technique that creates delicate open areas through carefully withdrawn threads and reworked stitch structure. This combination of raised whitework and drawn thread detailing is typical of prestige Victorian household textiles, made to showcase craftsmanship and elevate formal bedroom settings.
Condition is listed as excellent, with no marks or stains and no damage to either the drawn thread work or the embroidery. That makes it suitable for immediate use, display, or careful collection.
The bedspread measures 264 x 218 cm (104 x 86 inches), a generous rectangular size that works for many beds or as a statement textile in interiors styling.
Materials Details: Raised whitework embroidery and drawn thread work on linen.
