Sicilian 500 bedspread - Linen - Early 20th century

Authentic bedspread in pure linen, hand-embroidered in 500 Sicilian drawn-thread. Sicily 1950-60s. Important antique bedspread made with a beautiful white high-quality linen. It is entirely embroidered in 500 stitch and other antique stitches. The thread was hand-drawn on a large loom by 4 expert embroiderers for many months of intense and precious work, to make the large embroidery perfect. The quality of the linen is exceptional, only the best linen was used to make these masterpieces, given the very high costs of manufacture. This item was made in Sicily, commissioned by a bride in the 1950s/70s and is from a private collection. This is not the copy of a commercial item, of which the market is saturated, given that 500 Sicilian drawn-thread embroidery has been imitated a lot outside of Sicily and Italy It is in perfect condition, never used, never washed, still with its original folds. No stains, no halos, only some small and negligible sign of storage, almost invisible and confirming the authenticity of this vintage piece (the signs will vanish with washing) . A true masterpiece. Look closely at the photos and admire the item in all its beauty. Size: approx. 270X240 cm. Worldwide tracked shipping via express courier.
