Vintage and Antique Linens by Em's Heart
Antique Marseilles or Matelasse
Victorian Coverlet / Bedspread with Original Label
Item Number S24108
Every so often something comes along that takes my breath away... This definitely stopped me in my tracks! Large ferns and draped swags in a rare panel pattern are surrounded on all four sides with a classic repeating geometric border that is indicative of the style. White linen blend is a bit stiff having never been laundered.
I've not seen one with this type of pattern with elements that form a panel that clearly runs in one direction. White and bright as the day it was made...a red mark appears on the underside of one hem. Offered as found, in near perfect condition, with minor age, shown below, that will launder right out the first time through. c.1890 79" X 91"
