Description from the seller
Antique embroidered linen bed cover or tablecloth – Richelieu & drawnwork – set with a cover – a piece of the trousseau
Magnificent antique linen piece, entirely handmade, a testament to traditional textile craftsmanship.
This rare piece stands out for its remarkable work blending Richelieu embroidery, drawnwork, and motifs delicately arranged in a patchwork, each different, creating a composition that is at once rich and harmonious.
The floral center, finely openworked, adds texture and exceptional elegance.
The crocheted lace border enhances the whole with a refined finish typical of antique trousseau linens.
