Antique Drawn Thread and Embroidered Panel with Birds: C19th Eastern Europe

Item Details.
A delightful traditional folk art hand embroidered drawn thread work linen runner with delightful birds and from Eastern Europe and dating from the late 19th century.

Probably made as part of a bride’s trousseau these would have been hung decoratively throughout the home usually over cupboards, or across a piece of furniture.

As you can see from our photographs we are not traditionalists and have put the panle behind a glass cupboard door to show how effective these panels look as small decorative curtains.

Intricatley hand worked in a traditional design with complicated drawn threadwork, these panels could be used to dress a table or under a kitchen counter.

All of the textiles we sell are antique and may have all the idiosyncrasies of an aged and loved piece of cloth so small marks and signs of wear are to be expected and are an inherent part of their charm.

Measurements:
152cm long x 38cm wide (plus a possible extra 20cm in length if you unpicked a historical tuck)

Condition.
In excellent antique condition with a few small holes. All of the textiles we sell are antique and may have some of the idiosyncrasies of historic and loved textiles such as small flaws, marks, old mends and an overall patina of age. These are to be expected and are part of the textiles story and journey.
