B0004

Five white hand embroidered swagged bouquets and hemstitching adorn this soft cotton sheet that I found in Brussels. I imagine this sheet to have been made by a loving family member for the newborn, as it is not professional but very precise and practiced. It measures 36" X 46".

Vintage Arts: Decorative Art: Textiles: Quilts Pre 1950: item #620516

Most unusual to have a genuine Lancaster County Amish Bars Crib quilt, but particularly as late as 1950. Fabrics are a combination of rayon and wool knit. Subtle, clearly intentional difference in the bars. The outer two are wider and a different fabric than the central two. Measures 29" x 34".

Baskets of flowers,with lace fillings highlight this almost round (68" X 65") cotton tablecloth. The design,pictured over the round cotton damask tablecloth, shows beautifully. All work seems to be professionally worked by hand,and is very good though not fine, the embroidery is precise but not padded. In almost perfect condition but for a storage stain along a fold, which should disappear with first laundering, and a few broken brides. Priced as found and including the pink damask cloth. It is...

I first thought this large set of napkins was machine made,but after close inspection I believe they are most certain to be hand embroidered,with shadow stithing and even the buttonhole bound scallopped edges. Quite hard to find large sets these days,especially in such perfect condition. They laundered beautifully! A wonderful addition to your collection or perhaps for a bride's trousseau! 5" X 7" fine cotton batiste.
