Description from the seller

Vintage hand-embroidered tablecloth complete with 12 matching napkins.
Italian craftsmanship
The embroidery and visible work in the photo are entirely handmade, executed using satin stitch, lazy daisy stitch, or chain stitch. Hand embroidery is recognizable by its slight irregularity of the stitches, the natural torsion of the thread, and manual closures.
The yarn is made of linen.
The netting work constitutes the entire perimeter border of the tablecloth, made with crochet and subsequently sewn by hand onto the central fabric. It is a lengthy and meticulous task, typical of important heirloom tablecloths.
Optimal conditions, never used, dated.
From around the 50s/60s, inherited from my mother for my collection. I highlighted with photos two small stains on a napkin caused by the passage of time, which I chose not to treat, but they are almost certainly easy to remove.
Overall, the condition is perfect; there are no discolorations or damages.
Length about 269 cm.
Width approximately 189 cm.
