The listing, Vintage Filet Crochet, Dresser Scarf or Table Runner/doily BEAUTIFUL and very old 12" x 48" has ended.
Beautiful fillet crochet dresser scarf out table runner. It is 12" x 48" and has the naturally aged colour people try to achieve with tea dying, or coffee dying.
It is in good condition for its age, which I would estimate to be close to a hundred years old, probably made in the roaring twenties, perhaps the thirties.
Please look at all the pictures, I took several close ups so you can see the flaws that exist. I will describe what I see.
There is some fraying along both short edges. One edge having only one flaw, while the other edge has 3 noticeable ones, and one more small one near one corner, which mssg be hard to see in the photos, depending on the device you're using to view I see no classes at all along either of the long edges.
Along the inner border, about 18" from the side with more flaws, their is a hole, where the threads of the border have started fraying.
There is a small hole about 2" from the short edge that only had one flaw.
Those are the only flaws I see on the piece. I find no stains at all. I have looked at this piece very closely, and taken several close ups. I am pretty darn sure I found and accurately described the flaws, which I believe add to the character and age of this piece, but I am human, and it is possible I missed something. If you want more photos, let me know. I took these at high resolution, making it easy to see everything of your screen is big enough.
I would like to keep all of my doilies, fabric, lace rubber stamps, and other craft supplies, but I just have collected too much stuff. I couldn't use it all if I did something crafty every day, and none of my kids are crafty. They'd rather have me make it for them :-). Anyway, the stash is too big, so I list my collections here, where they can find a new home with someone who will use and appreciate them.
Thanks for looking at my auctions! Fran
