Normandy lace tea cloth, early 20th century
This Normandy work tea cloth with its handmade filet lace and exquisite hand embroidery is a real find for the collector. It features a wide variety of motifs and patterns arranged in a pleasing design and assembled with utmost care.
Indicative of attention to detail and generous inventiveness in this handmade piece are the very small number of repeats. I love the filet lace border with the authentic folk-art design feeling given by the hunter and his dog.
Handmade lace and exquisite hand embroidery cannot be found in modern textiles. Textiles like this one are not only beautiful in themselves but are also an excellent investment in the needle arts.
The condition is excellent. The tea cloth is clean and ready to use. It measures 32" square.
