About this work

Linen damask tablecloth with fleurs de lys. Swirling bands form vertically elongated fields. The bands consist of straight and round sections filled with small fleurs de lys; at the junctions a swirling branch with lilies. The border, outlined only on the outer side with fine zigzag edges and scrollwork with grid filling, shows densely packed floral bouquets, directed towards the center in the corners and emerging from a support bearing a fleur de lys. Surrounding: block border.
