Lot 431:
An Assortment of Vintage Handmade Crocheted and Lace Linens
Sold for: $25
Description
An assortment of vintage handmade domestic textiles, likely dating from the mid-20th century. The collection features several large-format pieces in ecru and white cotton and linen. Included is a large ecru-colored crocheted textile featuring a repeating geometric pinwheel or starburst pattern with a dense texture and a decorative scalloped edge. A second ecru crocheted piece is composed of individual circular floral medallions joined together with openwork stitching. The lot also contains a large, delicate ecru lace textile characterized by a fine-gauge hexagonal mesh ground with denser scrolling floral and filigree motifs throughout. Additionally, there is a white cotton or linen textile featuring wide inset bands of handmade lace with intricate floral and geometric patterns. These items appear to be handcrafted domestic linens, such as tablecloths or bedspreads.
Condition report:
The items are in good vintage condition consistent with age and domestic use. There is visible yellowing and localized staining present, particularly on the white textile. Minor fraying and loose threads are visible along some edges. As is common with vintage lace, small breaks in the finer mesh bridges or connections between motifs may be present. No large tears or significant structural damage were observed.
