AS MARTHA STEWART POINTED OUT, IT IS HARD TO FIND BEAUTIFUL HAND MADE LINENS LIKE THIS ANYMORE.THEY ARE EMBROIDERED WITH FABRICAPPLIQUÉ.SO MUCH DETAIL AND SO MUCH TIME WENT INTO MAKING THESE....COUNTLESS HOURS.
I BELIEVE SOME OF THE SEWING WAS DONE WITH A MACHINE FOR EXAMPLE THEOUTER EDGE AND THE SCALLOPED EDGE.EITHER WAY IT TOOK A VERY SKILLED HAND.
I LOOKED AT THE FLOWERAPPLIQUÉS WITH A MAGNIFYING GLASSAND IT IS MY BELIEF THAT IT WAS ALL HAND CUT.I CAN NOT TELL WHETHER THEY WERE HAND OR MACHINE EMBROIDERED.MY OPINION KEEPS CHANGING.SOMETIMES I THINK THEY WOULD HAVE TO BE HAND DONE EITHER WAY SOMEONEWAS A SUPER EXPERT SEAMSTRESS.Today I believe theembroiderydone on the flowers is hand done.I welcome any feed back.
TAKE A GOOD LOOK AT THE PICTURES OF THE BACK AND FRONTCLOSE UPS TO SEE THE DETAIL INVOLVED.UNBELIEVABLE!
THESE HAVE BEEN CLEANED WITH \"RESTORATION\" AND CAREFULLY DRIED ONA RACK AND IRONED WITH DISTILLED WATER.
THEY ARE IN EXCELLENT USED CONDITION FOR VINTAGE PLACEMATS AND NAPKINS.I DO NOT THINK THEY WERE USED MUCH.THE REALLY INTERESTING THING ABOUT THESE IS THAT THE FLOWERS ARE ATTACHEDTO A SHEERER LINEN THAT ALMOST LOOKS WHITE.SO THERE IS A CONTRAST BETWEEN THE PINK LINEN AND THE SHEER PINK LINENTHAT THE FLOWERS ARE SEWN ON.JUSTABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL!SO EXSQUISITE.IT LOOKS LIKE A PINK CONFECTION.THIS WOULD MAKE AN INCREDIBLE GIFT FOR SOMEONE.I WISH THERE WAS SOME WAY THAT I COULD DISPLAY ALL THESE LINENS.THEY WERE PURCHASED AT A CONSIGNMENT SHOP IN THE WEALTHY SUBURB (MAIN LINE)OF PHILADELPHIA ...YEARS AGO.BY MY MOTHER.
PLEASE SEE MY OTHER sales I AM THINNING OUT THE HERD.I HAVE BEEN COLLECTING LINENS FOR YEARS AND AM SELLING SOME OFF.
THERE ARE SOME TINY SPOTS/ STAINS ON THESE.I HAVE NOT MYSELF TRIED ANY FURTHER STAIN REMOVAL.
I DO NOT WANT TO DO ANY FURTHER EXPERT CLEANING ON THEM.I LIKE TO POINT THIS OUT SO THERE ARE NO SURPRISES.Please check out my other vintage linen sale.Pale yellow with Embroidered Strawberries.Plus more sales to come .. I am thinning out the herd.Thanks for looking
