Overview

A classic mid-century white cotton or linen-blend tablecloth featuring elaborate blue rose and butterfly embroidery.

Story

During the 1950s, the dining table served as the primary stage for social connection and the display of a family's refinement.

Maker / Origin

While often produced by commercial textile firms like Wilendur or Quaker Lace, many of these pieces were also sold as 'stamped' kits.

Condition & Value

The fabric appears remarkably bright and crisp in the photos, suggesting it was stored away from sunlight. Value for vintage linens is driven primarily by size and the absence of 'rust' spots or wine stains.
