Burano lace tablecloth - Linen - First half 20th century

Precious tablecloth with Burano lace embroidery, enriched with linen cutwork and embroidered in satin stitch, surrounded by bunches of grapes, entirely hand-embroidered. The tablecloth comes from a private collection; in excellent condition, without stains or haloes.

This tablecloth can also be used to cover a bed or a sofa, as a curtain, to furnish and embellish any room. Ecru colour. The photos do not do justice to the actual value, importance and beauty of the tablecloth.
