An antique hand-embroidered linen and cotton lace bedspread, dating from the turn of the 20th century. This textile exhibits Chantilly-style floral designs meticulously scaled for a grand home decor piece.
Originating from the late 19th to early 20th century, this textile represents the pinnacle of European hand-embroidery on linen net. The Chantilly pattern, known for its delicate outlining and detailed flora, is adapted here with larger motifs suitable for bedchamber decoration, reflecting the elaborate domestic handwork traditions of the era.
