This spectacular hand-embroidered cloth dates back to the late 19th century and is a true jewel of Italian craftsmanship.
Made entirely of beautiful linen and hand-woven on a loom, this large blanket features, on both sides, a very high flounce decorated with an intricate crochet motif.
Every minute detail of these lace ruffles has been crafted with extreme care and skill, creating an elegant wavy effect that captures the light in an enchanting way.
The alternation of geometric patterns with openwork stitches on the upper part, of dense stripes that give structure, made with a stitch that seems like a variant of the filet stitch and with decorative fringes knotted by hand, makes it truly unique!
The cloth is then embellished with a beautiful monogram embroidered in red and white, which reproduces the two letters, DA, of the woman who had it sewn.
The ensemble gives the canvas an aura of refined, timeless beauty, worthy of the stately homes of nineteenth-century Italy.
Thanks to the use of natural fibres, this unique piece stands out for its extraordinary softness and natural breathability, making it ideal for everyday use or as a decorative element of extraordinary beauty.
Dimensions: approximately 165 x 72 cm including the two flounces.
Composition: 100% Linen
This hand-embroidered cloth represents a true treasure of a past that still smells of refined craftsmanship. An unmissable opportunity to enrich your home with a piece of Italian history and style.
There may be small imperfections or signs of aging, such as light yellowing in some places, where the towels have been folded for decades. With washing they will gradually disappear.
Consider the age of these objects, their past history, the time and life they have seen pass by… the signs that time has left on them are added values, small traces that remind us that they come to us from another era.
Appreciate these little blemishes and imperfections, they are beautiful and speak of the people who preserved them before us.
