Presented here is an unfinished, rectangular, hand-embroidered linen pillowcase, measuring approximately as shown.
The central feature is a basket overflowing with a vibrant assortment of flowers in shades of pink, purple, orange, blue, and yellow. The basket motif is flanked by additional floral groupings, all finely executed in multicolored thread using classic embroidery stitches. The edges display a handcrafted crochet lace trim, adding a delicate finishing touch. The linen shows visible signs of age and wear, including some discoloration and light staining, primarily across the lower portion, as seen in multiple images.
This piece exemplifies domestic handicraft traditions and would have originally served as a decorative table covering or accent textile. The reverse side is plain, highlighting the textile’s construction. This lot is ideal for collectors of hand-embroidered household linens or those interested in early- and mid-20th-century textile arts.
