Antique French sheer lawn cotton (& linen) cloth edged with lovely Valenciennes lace. A simple, beautiful placemat. A soft lawn fabric woven with fine threads. Although not as extremely thin as organdy, muslin, or ramie (linen material), or pin lace, it is thin and has a refined softness. It is supple and smooth, with a high-quality, flowing texture. The excellent texture makes you think it might even contain silk, in addition to cotton and linen. Elegant scallop lace carefully folded at the corners. Perhaps hand-knitted Valenciennes. The fluffy little circles are like water droplets, seeds, baby's breath, or the delicate beauty of falling snow ❍゜. The small scallop edging is double. While having a sturdy feel, it is adorned with tiny picot embroidery, creating a delicate and gentle style. Careful hand-stitched edging and the sewing of the lace to the fabric. A nuanced ivory color, as if faintly tinged with a grassy khaki. An antique-like nostalgic tone. Please forgive any errors as the following measurements are amateur. Total length: 54-53cm (long side) x 40-39.5cm (short side) Fabric area: 46cm x 32.5cm Lace: approx. 3.1cm Weight: slightly over 10g There are no noticeable scratches, and it has been cleaned and is in a clean condition ✨️. Upon close inspection, there is one very small dot the size of a pinprick (top center of image 14), and one area of about 2.5cm square that has faded to a light sepia color (images 15-19, etc.). I don't think it's very noticeable, but please refrain from purchasing if you are concerned. Please also forgive any other minor imperfections not mentioned that do not affect use. Perfect for displaying objects or bisque dolls on a table, cabinet, or chest. You can hang it from a shelf or place it under glass cases containing dolls. You can also display vases in the entryway or alcove. It's a convenient size and is a wonderful runner that suits both Western and Japanese rooms, and is hard to find.
