This cloth is simply ravishing and in wonderful condition, with one tiny pinhole (and that is an accurate description of its size) break on the entire cloth. The lace is wonderfully made, in a beautiful design of intricate needlework. The whipstitching that gives this lace is wonderful depth is marvelous to see. I've tried to take photos of most of the details, both up close and at a distance, so that you can see the lace in detail. The color of this cloth at present is a bit "off-white" and that is because it has been stored for decades. I believe it will whiten instantly with a gentle laundering and/or sunning. There are no structural defects - no tears, no repairs. There are three or four storage marks, rather light rusty in color - and these, too, will yield to a sunning or a bit of lemon juice and water. They are extremely minor and I have no doubt they will disappear once the cloth is laundered properly. The last photo shows one of these areas. Buyer pays $18.50 domestic postage. Place a Bid!
