Antique Linen Collection - Dinner table cover

In years past it was not uncommon to see tulle type fabric embroidered with beautiful stitching. These large pieces were used to cover a "set for dinner party" table. The above photographs show some of the flowers that were appliqued/embroidered onto the netting. Some show the front, others show the back.
