Description

80 in dia.This hand-crocheted round tablecloth is crafted from off-white cotton thread. The piece features a complex repeating pattern of large circular wheel medallions with concentric rings of openwork. These primary motifs are interconnected by smaller star-shaped secondary motifs to create a continuous lace surface. The perimeter is finished with a wide, decorative scalloped border featuring tiered geometric openwork patterns. No maker marks, stamps, or labels are visible, indicating this is a handmade textile. The construction is consistent with mid-20th-century American home-craft traditions.
