Antique French Handmade Floral Table Runner With Crochet

availability: in Stock
$58.00  $55.10

This handmade antique floral French piece is so pretty and unique. Beige cotton with an apricot and pink floral pattern, with large border of solid apricot fabric and a delicate crochet trim with ball fringe. As only two sides were finished in this manner, I'm not entirely sure if it was originally designed as a table runner, but that seems to me most likely. It would also make an ideal window valance (after a few simple alterations). may be exactly for what is was intended, as table runner/window valance. This item is just one of the handmade pieces I sourced from the same farm in France. Most everything is impeccably sewn, so it is rather surprising - and amusing - that solid cotton has an amateurish pinking-shear type edge.

Length: 56.5in. (143.51cm.)
Width: 15in. (38.1cm.)
Circa 1920s.
Handmade (both machine and hand-sewn).

Excellent antique condition, wear commensurate with age. There is some minor, barely perceptible fading, and a couple stains (haven't tried to remove)
