FRENCH VICTORIAN CROCHET BED COVER - Cotton - Late 19th century

[ translate ]

This is a superb late 19th Century crochet bedspread. We have ascertained the very interesting Provenance from a lady friend whom I have know since 30 years. I went to see her in her Antique shop in la Chatre recently and whilst talking she confided in me that her son does not want any of the family trousseau bed and table linen which is substantial. I subsequently went to see her and amongst other bed linen she showed me the documented provenance of this bed cover. It was crochet around 1890 by the ladies great,great, grandmother for her daughter's wedding extended "trousseau". ( thus her great grandmother) Since then it has never been used and has been in a box ever since. It is one of the first original designs and has since been copied so many times in almost the same design, other than the edgings around the cover are very original and I have never seen this particular finish. It is a one off and is obviously in pristine condition. A very exquisite bedcover and a virtual collectors piece.
