Large Antique Battenberg Lace Dining Table Cover
This large antique Battenberg lace dining table cover is a substantial piece of cream-coloured table linen, offered as a single lot. It is presented as a generous cover suited to a large dining table.
The cover is worked in the Battenberg style, with lace motifs and bold cutwork panels set into the cloth. The decorative design includes scrolling borders, floral and foliate motifs and a central panel, with openwork sections along the edges. The scalloped and fringed borders are visible around the perimeter, giving the piece a traditional character typical of European table linen.
Condition and Collectability
The lace is in good condition overall, with the cutwork and lace elements well preserved. There are some stains in places, which are noted for the buyer’s consideration. The cover is offered as found, and its age and craftsmanship will appeal to collectors of antique table linen and those seeking a large, traditional dining table cover for display or use.
