EXPERTLY embellished with EXTENSIVE hand finished Broderie Anglaise French eyelets, raised whitework hand embroidery, Madeira rondels and seed stitch accents. The center section of handwork measures 26 1/2" square, so this would make a most fabulous topper with a long, dramatic drape on a small square table. The ornately scalloped edges are entirely hand finished in the Caseado Bastido Scalloped Blanket Buttonhole stitch, the most difficult of the 19 Madeira stitches, and reserved for only the most highly skilled Madeira embroideresses. This is EARLY c1900-20's Madeira Whitework at it’s finest! These early pieces really show the strong influence of the English handwork that was brought to the island and helped create the Madeira embroidery industry on an international level. Of all the beautiful Madeira linens, the early whitework has always been my personal favorite.
