I literally rescued this table linen from being thrown away . I very much saw a new life in it and have restored it where necessary. What happened as so many times in the early 20th Century, the French would smoke during lunch and dinner and at the table which meant that the hot ash did not reach the ashtrays in time with the consequence of creating small or larger holes in the table linen. This table linen "had" three small holes at the top ,two threads missing in the "ajour de VENISE" ( open thread work) at the top and one large repair job at the bottom and fortunately at the sides and thus not visible when the table is decked. Please read these notes carefully to later avoid a problem. I had the choice of entering it under fair or good condition and decided to enter it under GOOD CONDITION as it warrants it wholeheartedly after I corrected the small problems. It is in fact hardly visible when the table is decked. The 3 small holes ,larger hole and the open thread work piece are all covered with a piece of "thermocollant" which has been ironed on and will not come off after washing and ironing. I have done a table setting which hopefully will show you that it is virtually perfect. The length of 340 cm by 2 meters is ideal for long dining room tables. The top "ajour de Venise" (open thread work )is rectangular and measures 2 meters by 0m50. The edges are framed with further open thread work and the corners have 9 Ajours de Venise". The back ground is called " granite damask". Please see the last 3 photos for the repairs. Vintage linen have already known a first life and can therefore have slight traces of the past. We select the items in the best possible way, with love and dedication. Honest descriptions and images gives a real vision of the items. The linen that we offer for sale is not new linen, unless specifically mentioned, it is second-hand and old linen. As such it may have already been washed, used or even worn. In spite of the great care we take during the preparation, small imperfections can and may escape us. They do not in any way call into question the unique and rare character of these wonderful pieces. I present you our French Antique linen unwashed, as taken out of the armoire, unless otherwise described . It is all clean, but plan to give it a wash before use. Please be aware of the above before you bid and buy. Thank you for taking this into account
