AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Large white linen bedspread — English embroidery & crochet lace — 170 × 240 cm — vintage

There is a certain idea of linen, a French home-linen thing — the one that is handed down, that is brought out for special occasions, that is carefully ironed before being folded into the wardrobe. This bedspread is part of that.
Entirely made of white linen, it displays across its surface a textile work of remarkable complexity. The background is sprinkled with English embroidery in stem stitch — five-petaled flowers hollowed out, undulating stems, leaves cut with precision — which repeat in discreet motifs across the fabric. Strips of geometric openwork, worked in filet crochet and cutwork, structure the composition in parallel lines, rhythmically punctuated by square medallions crocheted with spider-thin finesse. The border, meanwhile, is worked in crochet lace with picots and pom-poms, in a generosity that speaks to the era and the care given to every centimeter.

This is the kind of piece that decorators look for to dress a wrought-iron bed, a vintage-era bedroom, or an interior that values handmade craft. 170 × 240 cm.
Linen 100%.
Very good condition, very white, clean.

A piece to hunt for, a one-off.
