Antique South of France Provençal Bobbin Lace Linen Trim with Beautiful Floral Pattern

A charming piece of French antique.
This beautiful table/tray cloth features an antique floral fabric edged with linen bobbin lace.

The base is a slightly pinkish ivory, adorned with a lovely flower bouquet pattern in cute yet chic colors such as red, pink, orange, yellow, turquoise blue, and khaki brown. Upon closer inspection, the base color subtly blends with beige and other hues, creating a hazy effect.

The square frame is crafted from beautifully hand-knitted bobbin lace, resembling a pattern of leaves and sunflowers, and is attached to the main fabric with ladder lace embroidery. The lace itself has a gentle ivory color, with hints of pink and yellow, exuding an elegant and natural feel.

The floral fabric is of medium thickness, with a smooth, supple, yet firm texture. It feels like a cotton and linen blend, practical for everyday use without being too thin or too thick.

The linen lace is surprisingly crisp and has a dry, smooth feel.

Please excuse any errors in the amateur measurements of this handmade item:

Length and width including lace: 33 cm each
Small floral fabric: 19 cm x 19.5 cm
Approximately 15g

The item is in excellent condition with no stains, dirt, or signs of use. The texture of the lace suggests it was preserved as if newly made and remained unused for a long time.

Perfect for displaying antique bisque dolls, teddy bears, and other cherished items.

It can also be used as a placemat for teacups and saucers during tea time.

It can also serve as a handkerchief or napkin. It would complement both Western and Japanese attire.

When placed indoors, it instantly brightens the space with a delicate touch and makes a statement. It gives a refreshingly cool impression in spring and summer.

This is a one-of-a-kind item.
I would be delighted if someone who appreciates it could make wonderful use of it.✧
