Bedspread - 245 cm - 200 cm - Crochet masterpiece

Splendid and monumental handmade Italian artisanal double bedspread, dating from the late 1950s and coming from an important period chest of linens. This textile masterpiece is the fruit of months of skilful and patient workmanship entirely done by hand, as evidenced by the microscopic and fascinating asymmetries characteristic of true crochet work.
Technical and Constructive Features:
• The Irish Rose Motif: it is composed of 256 modular geometric tiles where at the center of each tile a sumptuous rose worked in double and treble crochet stands out, creating an exceptional three-dimensional (relief) effect. This technique (known as Irish Rose) gives the fabric a rich texture and a magnificent play of light and shadow depending on the light.
• Assembly: around the central rose unfolds a geometric weave of small empty chain squares. The 256 tiles were joined together by hand one by one, using a thread identical in color but finer, ensuring a robust, invisible, and exquisitely sartorially elegant join.
• Edge Finishing: the bottom of the bedspread is enriched and finished by a monumental festoon border, highly elaborate, which frames the bed with a soft and sinuous fall.
• Generous Dimensions: 245 x 200 cm, ideal coverage for modern double beds, offering a length that can elegantly cover even the pillow area.
• Consistency/Weight: The substantial weight of about 3,800 grams attests to the use of a high-quality, pure twisted cotton yarn, full-bodied, durable, and in a warm and elegant tone (cream white / natural ivory, not chemically bleached).
Condition: perfect, it has remained preserved for decades within a family linen set, protected from light and wear. It shows no moisture stains, yellowing, pulled threads, odors, or restorations. The textile fibers are perfectly intact, firm, and robust. A piece ready to be collected or used immediately: a true timeless textile work of art, perfect to adorn bedrooms in both period residences and in Grandmillennial and Shabby Chic design environments.
