Almost unbelievable antique c1930 embroidered organdy placemat set - a setting for 8 plus matching table runner. Densely hand embroidered in the most amazing little stitches. This is early Chinese handwork at its finest, easily rivaling the best of Madeira. The runner alone is a work of art, each placemat breathtaking. A rare and magnificent set!

The 8 placemats measure approx 11.5 x 17 inches, the runner approx 17 x 43 inches. Color is white.

Table ready. Excellent condition, very gently used. Carefully hand laundered, bright and clean. We note a few almost imperceptible discolorations, some loose threads at the edges, and one placemat with a tiny hole in the organdy (last photo). 

All minor - these look spectacular.
