Long table runner or dresser or mantel
scarf, all handmade tatted lace, cotton thread lace. This is early
century vintage, probably pre-WWI when tatting was very popular. It's
right out of an old farm estate in Illinois.
This measures about 42" long x 13" wide. It's supple without any
brittleness, and we found just one hole over the entire piece. It is a
little yellowed from years of storage - we haven't washed or soaked it,
it's just as found.
