Linens, Placemat |
Description |
One of four cream-color, linen placemats. Cutwork floral design throughout and 1/2" lace trim around edges. Four medallions centered on each of four sides framing a potted flower. Additional flowers are embroidered alongside the cutwork. Cutwork or cut work, is a needlework technique in which portions of a textile, typically cotton or linen, are cut away and the resulting "hole" is reinforced and filled with embroidery or needle lace. Cutwork is related to drawn thread work. In drawn thread work, typically only the warp or weft threads are withdrawn (cut and removed), and the remaining threads in the resulting hole are bound in various ways. In other types of cutwork, both warp and weft threads may be drawn. From, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cutwork. |
