Antique Hand Embroidered Silk Cutwork Richelieu Linen Table Runner 

42" x 13.5" - Silk thread- cutwork -natural linen

Condition: there are a few brown marks on the linen - see pictures.

This textile is an antique or vintage hand-embroidered cutwork table runner, heavily decorated with silk-thread floral motifs featuring roses.

Design Style: The combination of bold satin-stitched flowers, thick couchings, and distinct structural geometric borders aligns closely with late Arts & Crafts or Art Nouveau textile aesthetics from the early 20th century.

Technique: It features intricate Richelieu or cutwork lace embroidery, where pieces of the linen backing are cut away and reinforced with buttonhole bars or brides to create an openwork lattice pattern. The vibrant, lustrous threadwork indicates the use of high-quality "Society Silk" threads, a hallmark of high-end home needlework from the 1890s through the 1920s.
