AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

This splendid tablecloth is a true masterpiece of Italian textile craftsmanship, a heirloom piece from another era that today is almost impossible to find with this level of workmanship.
The set consists of a generous tablecloth, 250x155 centimeters, perfect for a twelve-seat table, and twelve coordinating napkins.

The Richelieu-cutwork stitch is executed entirely by hand on linen of the highest quality, light and with an ultra-fine weave. The design is classic and of extreme elegance: large baskets of flowers rich in detail alternate with delicate garlands, creating a play of solid and empty spaces that lends lightness and brightness to the table.

The entire set is in impeccable condition, free of any stain, mark, or defect in the embroidery. For accuracy, I note that the tablecloth has been washed only once to refresh it, which is why it presents a slightly lighter and brighter tone compared to the napkins, which remain in their original, like-new state. This small nuance is proof of the natural texture of the thread and of the fact that the set has never truly been used.
This is an object for those who can appreciate the value of time and the patience required to create such a work, ideal for important occasions or to be passed down as a collectible piece.
