Tablecloth – Cut out work and blue scalloped trim

Description

A charming set of vintage hand-embroidered linen panels, repurposed from an original mid-century tablecloth and presented as decorative framed textile art.

The design features beautifully worked floral sprays in vivid shades of red, yellow, purple, and green, including stylised daffodils and pansies. The embroidery combines satin stitch, outline work, and areas of open cutwork, creating a layered and tactile surface with depth and movement.

These types of linens were commonly produced between the 1930s and 1950s, either entirely by hand or using pre-stamped patterns that were later embroidered in the home. They reflect a rich tradition of domestic craftsmanship, where embroidery was both a practical skill and a form of creative expression.

Cutwork elements – where sections of fabric are carefully removed and reinforced with stitching, add a lace-like delicacy to the design, a technique with roots in European embroidery traditions such as broderie anglaise.

Now thoughtfully reframed, these pieces transform a functional textile into unique wall art, ideal for adding warmth, texture, and heritage charm to an interior.
