Hello!
Can you help me please dating this old tablecloth?
It is hand embroidered and it has a bronze metallic lace trim.
it is large (164 cm long and 104 cm wide). The fabris is linen.
Thank you very much!



 
sorry cant help you.. on the date... but i love hand embroidered things...you can allmost feel the patience and the love that someone has put into the item..
at a stabb i would say 40's- 50's ...
 
I would agree this is older, just how old is the question. The gilt braid is unusual. This is a Griffon which was a creature found in late victorian furniture etc. I also sell vintage linens under a different seller name on eBay and sold a cross stitched griffon tablecloth and napkins this summer for a sum that surprised me. I think this could be older then the 40's. Some key words I used were masculine, griffon, victorian-motif and gothic. It is in lovely condition and so unusual! -Lorinda
