Antique Linen Tablecloth With Gorgeous 20th Century Dimensional Cutwork



As if plucked from Downton Abbey.... 


This authentic antique linen tablecloth is strong enough for use and would be a gorgeous cloth as a backdrop to a glamorous centerpiece, such as a large floral arrangement or wedding cake. 
This fine, hand-embroidered linen tablecloth comes from a Scottish collection that made its way to New England and dates to circa 1900. 
Typically, one doesn't find a cloth so ornate and finely detailed in this size. The elegant, highly detailed heart motif is centered amid scrolls of ivy in the elaborate, fully handsewn, design. The design is worked with perfection on every side of the square cloth. The linen is quite strong and of superior quality, that is simply not found in our world, today. The master handwork is breathtaking and was painstakingly worked; hours upon hours, weeks upon weeks of time went into this exquisite tablecloth. 
This exquisite cloth is destined for a discerning collection, where it will undoubtedly become a great treasure. It is square and measures about 52 inches or 132 cm on each size.
