I am starting the bidding at $9.99 for this priceless cloth. Be generous with your bids~ a portion of this auction goes to the cause! Bless, Gran After several emails and consuting with other linen experts I have changed the description of this cloth to Swiss Appezell rather than Italian. From a wealthy old Boston family estate of the finest old linens including several huge banquet cloths I will be listing~ many hand made and passed down for many generations, this lavish Italian 13 foot banquet cloth is is like an fine needlework sampler~ with Point de Vinise needlelace,  drawn linen work, dense delicate silky Appenzell embroidery and micro mosaic work and is in pristine condition! All items I sell are in ready to use condition and any flaws will be clearly stated.I take great care in my selection and preparation for sale so I am confident you will be pleased with the items I offer. I always presoak, launder and press all items so I know the exact condition and reflect that in my listings. NO SURPRISES!!! Most of the items I will offer are from estates or I have purchased them in Europe, as I travel extensively and I try my best to reflect age and description accurately. Thanks and visit again. Exstensively hand embellished with the most elegant Italian hand work, this huge 156" cloth is a rare find! The estate it came from had some of the finest linens I have ever seen and all of unsurpassed quality and condition. The fine Irish linen is very tightly woven with a high thread count~ snow white and has a wonderful hand and drape and the cloth appears barely used. The workmanship is spectacular and the fruits, flora and fauna and acanthos that grace it are exceedingly opulent. It has superb visual interest and is the epitome of fine European class ad style. Most of the linens from this estate are being listed to help raise awareness and funds for autism so I am starting this at $9.99 with no reserve and hope the bidding is generous. The cloth measure 78x156" and has absolutely no flaws aside from a faint storage spot at an edge that wouldn't show up in a photo~ a very rare find and a textile work of art! *** My linens are labours of love and I take great pride in offering the finest selection, condition and variety of unique and special pieces.
