A lovely table-cloth

The cloth is embroidered on fine linen with a broad hem with hemstitches. It has a neat bobbin lace. In the four corners there are butterflies. I have been thinking a lot how they are made, inserted and sewn on a readymade bottom or sewn directly on the linen, made to a net. I like the cloth very much.

Linen cloth with lace and embroideries. Bought in an antique shop about 1990.
