VINTAGE LINEN - HOURGLASS SHAPED. HAND CUT WORK & BATTENBERG LACE ALL THE WAY AROUND. BEAUTIFUL and VERY UNUSUAL. It may have been designed for a bread basket. It doesn't appear to have ever been used. The detail and intricate design of this handiwork is in itself a work of art. Some of the tiniest stitches I've ever seen and tiny cut work. I have been a collector of fine linens for over 30 years and this is one special piece. It measures 19 inches corner to corner.  This came from an estate of a collector of fine linens in Clearwater, Florida. Take a look at my other listings to see more beautiful linens.
