An antique fabric panel featuring hand-embroidered red floral motifs and stitched initials at the centre. The embroidery sits along one edge with a repeating floral border, while the opposite end includes a single small dart, suggesting historical tailoring or re-purposing of the linen.
The cotton or linen shows a soft, time-worn hand and light natural variation in tone from decades of age. A beautifully crafted textile suited to table styling, wall display, or creative re-making.
Condition: Good - antique textile with age-softened colour variation, no large stains, embroidery intact, dart stable.
Dimensions: 68 cm W x 77 cm L (61 cm wide at darted end)
