Rare larger vintage French Normandy lace bed cover with attached top pillow cover and bottom panel is finished the perfect scallops of pieces lace and embroidered linen all the way down both sides. The is a glorious piece....whew! It was so large I had to lay it out on the grass and photograph it hanging out over the deck 12 feet above (it was worth it to see it all at once!). A very few minor lace separations have been carefully repaired. There are several very minor and tiny holes in the lace....but as you can see, they are difficult to detect in the field and do not threaten the integrity of the piece.
