Very fine linen fil oval tablecloth
This is the first time I have ever found an oval tablecloth here! Certainly made for a wealthy household, I can image this sliding over a polished oak table. This is finest quality linen - you can see in the photos how the worn wooden top of my display table with its random painted bits is showing through. The centre featured bands of hand-appliqued decoration which must have been a nightmare to place, plus an infill of netting, and at each end of the oval centre is a large handembroidered monogramme which looks like the letters VSF but who knows in what order they may go! There is a fine bobbin lace border around the entire cloth. It seems to be in perfect condition which is rather exceptional considering the fineness of the textile. It measures 162cm across the widest part and 245cm long measured through the centre.
