A vintage or antique French small rose in a vibrant orange hue... This is a linen/cotton doily with color thread embroidery, featuring beautiful gradations of orange and olive green. Each flower is hand-embroidered, creating a refreshing and natural handmade piece with vivid, vitamin-like colors. The petals showcase a beautiful orange gradation, including shades of red-orange, mandarin orange, apricot, tangerine, and lemon yellow, appearing to shimmer gold in the light. The slender leaves and stems are in a dark khaki color. Dot embroidery gives a refreshing impression, like light or water droplets. The scalloped rim is edged with white thread. The base is a bright, crisp white. The material is likely cotton, or a linen & cotton blend (metis). The warp and weft threads, knots, and slubs are visible here and there, giving it a smooth and soft feel with a medium thickness. It seems like it would feel warm in the winter. It also appears to be robust and durable. Please note that the following measurements are approximate due to amateur measurement: Diameter: 23cm - 23.5cm Weight: Approximately 7g There appear to be no stains. There are no tears, rips, or unraveling in the fabric, but there is a slight detachment of the edging thread on the rim. I understand that it has been cleaned, so it is ready to use immediately. Please understand any minor imperfections that do not affect use, considering the nature of handmade items that have passed through the years and the hands of many people. From the back, you can see the traces of needlework, with each flower and leaf carefully embroidered. It can be placed under (large) dolls like bisque dolls or teddy bears. Also suitable under objects, tea sets, vases, etc. It can be used on tables, cabinets, chests, entryways, windowsills, etc. It has a refreshing style that evokes bright light. I hope that those who like it will enjoy using it ✧ Search terms: needlework, handwork, color thread embroidery, Southern French Provence, flower embroidery Also on sale below↓ Antique French Nasturtium, orange x green, hand-embroidered linen 54cm doily
