Worked in a soft ivory-white thread, the large round tablecloth combines an unusually rich succession of floral medallions, dimensional crochet, delicate openwork and precisely executed mesh before finishing in a broad, deeply scalloped border.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhat distinguishes this piece is the quality and consistency of the handwork. Across nearly five feet of circular crochet, the tension remains remarkably even and the design beautifully controlled. Numerous changes in stitch and pattern create distinct concentric areas, from the elaborate floral center through successive bands of open lace, dimensional motifs and individually worked floral medallions.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe outer border is particularly striking. Large scallops incorporate raised dimensional details, giving the edge considerably more presence than a simple crocheted finish. When placed over a contrasting table covering, the negative space reveals just how intricate the pattern actually is.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMeasurements\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMaker\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEstimated Circa: 1940–1970\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCondition\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVintage textile note:\u003c\/strong\u003e Handmade and vintage textiles may show subtle variations in fibers, stitch tension and construction consistent with age and handwork.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/blogs\/journal\/identify-vintage-crochet-afghan\"\u003eRelated Journal guide\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Handmade","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53709839434004,"sku":null,"price":139.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1009\/1465\/9604\/files\/d02a0812-0780-4adc-a4b8-1ef72405e863.jpg?v=1787519620","url":"https:\/\/needleworkfarmhouse.com\/products\/vintage-hand-crochet-lace-tablecloth-57-round-floral-wedding-table-linen","provider":"Needlework Farmhouse","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
