Elegant table linen set, vintage late 1980s, made of pure snow-white cotton.
Extraordinary craftsmanship: an entirely hand-executed embroidery that frames the table.
The technique used is cutwork (or Richelieu/Renaissance embroidery), characterized by large floral motifs cut into the fabric and connected by embroidered bars in blanket stitch. The inner details of the petals and leaves are finished in satin stitch and stem stitch, giving three-dimensionality to the entire design.
