I don't think it was ever used and other than the faint stains, it is almost perfect. This beautiful table cover is embroidered with a bird motif in the center. The table cover is cream colored silk and features a scrolling border design with small flowers and leaves scattered throughout. Each corner has a large floral design in pinks, coral, blue, yellow purple, brown and green. It is also a floral design with a colorful bird in the center.
Scattered flowers accent the inner portion of the cloth.
This would look beautiful on an old square table. It's the perfect accent for your old photographs and treasures. I don't think the table cloth was ever used. It has not been cleaned and does have some very minor faint stains, but otherwise almost perfect. I believe it to date to the late 1800's or early 1900's as it was purchased from an estate where most items were from that time period.
