AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

This tablecloth would be priceless in terms of the hours of work that went into making it. There are 85 embroidery inserts measuring 6 cm by 6 cm and at least three times as many small inserts, 2 cm by 2 cm. The back side is beautiful as if one were looking at the tablecloth from the front. It comes with 8 napkins, each with a large insert. It is intact. Never used. I rediscovered it in an antique piece of furniture in the house I bought. The measurements of the tablecloth: 170 cm x 160 cm.
