Description from the seller
Cotton (presumed linen blend)
Excellent condition
254 x 174 cm. Napkins 40 x 40
Poste Italiane
This white tablecloth, with 11 napkins, is a fine example of traditional textile craftsmanship, featuring complex cutwork embroidery (also known as cutwork or Richelieu style) on high-quality white fabric, presumably fine linen or cotton, from the 1960s.
This type of workmanship is typical of vintage trousseaus and is characterized by:
Floral and curvilinear motifs: Stylized flowers (reminiscent of lilies or lotuses) and garlands, finely finished with blanket stitch.
Cut-out areas: Small sections skillfully cut from the fabric and joined by embroidered bars, creating an elegant sheer effect (“peekaboo”).
Satin stitch and stem stitch: Used to add dimension and define the details of the petals, leaves, and inner veins.
It is in excellent condition. Please examine the photographs carefully, as they form an integral part of the description.
Any customs duties or additional charges will be the buyer’s responsibility. Please check the costs in advance to avoid any unpleasant surprises.
Fast shipping, careful packaging
