Pair Fine Antique Linen Italian Filet Lace Runners W Grapevine Designs V Lovely
Item History & Price
| Reference Number: Avaluer:220276 |
I buy vintage linens at local estate auctions to pass them along to you, and recently found a great cache of linens that had been saved for decades.
This is a pair of Italian filet lace runners with a wonderful look. They are made of linen with a very silky finish and they have mellowed to a creamy color. One runner measures 43 by 15.5" and the other 33 by 14.5". They have matching patterns of grapevines with trunks, leaves, and clusters of grapes. The pa...tterns are quite lovely! Please use the zoom function to see all the great details.
I have laundered and pressed these, and found the fabric to be in excellent condition - soft and springy and not brittle. These are in generally good condition but there are several breaks in connectors, as shown in the last several photos. These could be repaired or left to reflect the age and heritage of these lovely antiques.
I am storing this in my smoke-free home, but I do have a cat who sheds copiously, so be aware if you have allergies. Please contact me for more information or photos. I am happy to combine items to save on shipping, so check my other listings too. Thanks for looking!
