ANTIQUE HANDMADE Italian DERUTA Pulled Thread Embroidery

Description: Description: I offer you one antique handmade table mat / doily made in Italy. It is an excellent, small example of Deruta pulled-thread embroidered lace featuring a traditional leaf, vine and grapes pattern. The edge is completed with picot crochet. It measures 15" x 10". This lovely Deruta lace is seldom found on eBay. Note: Pulled-thread is not drawn-thread work. No threads are removed from the linen. The lacy designs are created on this traditional loose-woven linen by embroidering with tension on the thread, pulling it tightly to create open spaces. Condition: No damage, no stains, freshly hand-laundered and ready to put on your table. More unusual lace for you from the scrupulously clean home and bottomless linen chest of the Rook and The Raven. Posting: SHIPPING IS FREE. I ship on the same day that I receive payment.
