This is a gorgeous handmade linen cloth. The linen is very fine, like the quality of a handkerchief. It is almost sheer, and has amazing embroidery creating a centerpiece, and in the corners. It is so nice, you almost don't want to put any plates on the table, just to see all the detail in the cloth. On the area that hangs down, there are sheer lace panels, and lace all the way around the edge. It is so nice, you almost don't want to put any plates on the table, just to see all the detail in the cloth. It's amazing to think of someone sewing this. It is in excellent condition. Would make a beautiful holiday showpiece. I have usually placed it atop a sheet when in use for dinner. 66" x 80"
