Exquisite Antique Needle Lace Italian Tablecloth Floral Baskets

Beautiful Italian linen tablecloth, luxury quality, from an European Estate. Gorgeous padded whitework floral embroidery dances around the edges, with point de venise needle lace medallions of rose floral baskets. Decorative cut work designs of flowers and scrolling embellishments add an extra luxury touch. The cloth is edged with hand made filet lace borders on every side. Superb! I can only imagine the hours, weeks and months spent to make this heirloom treasure for a bridal trousseau. 

An exceptional antique lace tablecloth, the workmanship is wonderful as is the array of lace styles. I have not washed the cloth, it comes with the original blue storage tissue, it is straight from the armoire of the family's home. There is some storage darkening on the panel that was "up" which will wash. A few storage marks as shown, and there may be a few loose brides etc. A wonderful and rare estate textile, a treasure to set your prettiest table.
