Cotton with copper thread embroidery

Unknown place, ca1900. Very good with two small spots; some loss to border tassle decoration; two small repairs to the stitching.. Stitched "table scarf" [?] made up by joining four cotton panels of equal size that are decorated with dense copper thread embroidery designs (each design is different). The whole meas. appx. 17 x 16 3/8 inches

An unusual "table scarf" in the Arts & Crafts style. The design, applied to plain cotton, is made up of four equal size individual panels with elaborate embroidered designs - each in a distinct pattern - made with copper thread (as are the tassles). Most likely a unique, individual effort. Well crafted.
