These pieces are old and should be kept as part of our craft heritage. Traditionally they were used as floor coverings, but they would also look lovely folded over the back of a sofa, on a bed or as a bold wall hanging. They can also be used to cover a headboard or a chair, or to make a fabulous Roman blind.
Details: recycled vintage cotton, hand-embroidered.
Size: 220 x 154 cm
Each piece is unique and handmade. The imperfections you may find in the embroidery show the unique character of the piece.
