This antique Hungarian embroidered folk art tablecloth is a needlework marvel. The 42 inch in diameter gives plenty of space to see the beautiful padded designs and padded flowers and designs. The colors are still bright and clear. The embroidery is still in pristine condition. This piece was given to my uncle from an Hungarian family that he had helped financially. I believe he paid for education for students that were known to him. The table cloth is 132 inches in circumference. The tradition of this beautiful folk art stitching started in the middle ages. The daughters learned very early on. The wealth of a family was based on the number of cloths they owned. This cloth has been rarely used. i inherited it in 78 and have only used it a few times. It is a wonderful find.

Thanks for visiting my shop. Be sure to take a look at all my items. I have a very eclectic shop.
