STUNNING LARGE ANTIQUE IRISH LINEN EMBOSSED BEDCOVER.IN LOVELY CONDITION FOR ITS AGE.FRESHLY LAUNDERED AND CLEAN.LOVELY OVERALL PATTERN AS SEEN, WITH A CONTRASTING PATTERN ROUND THE EDGES.EXCELLENT QUALITY LINEN, A GOOD HEAVY BEDCOVER.THESE OLD BEDCOVERS WERE USED ALL OVER IRELAND IN THE EARLY PART OF THE 20TH CENTURY, FROM SMALL IRISH COTTAGES TO LARGE ESTATE HOUSES.THERE ARE TWO SMALL REPAIRS RIGHT AT THE OUTER EDGES, ONE AT A CORNER. LOOKS AS IF THEY COULD HAVE HAPPENED WHILST BEING PULLED INTO SHAPE AFTER LAUNDERING, BUT THEY LOOK AS IF IT THEY HAVE BEEN PROFESSIONALLY REPAIRED MANY YEARS AGO AND ARE HARDLY NOTICEABLE. WOULD NOT BE SEEN WHEN ON THE BED, AS THEY ARE RIGHT ON THE OUTSIDE EDGES.OVERALL CONDITION IS EXCELLENT, THIS COVER LOOKS AND FEELS WONDERFUL. MUCH NICER IN REAL LIFE THAN IN THE PICTURES AS WHITE IS VERY HARD TO PHOTOGRAPH TO PICK UP THE EMBOSSED PATTERN WOVEN INTO THE LINEN.WOULD STILL LAST FOR YEARS.WOULD LOOK EQUALLY AS GOOD IN A CONTEMPORARY OR TRADITIONAL SETTING.THERE ARE A FEW VERY SMALL FAINT AGE RELATED MARKS FROM STORAGE, BUT I HAVE ONLY WASHED THE COVER ONCE, AND I AM SURE THEY WILL MOSTLY DISAPPEAR WITH FURTHER WASHES. THE OVERALL APPEARANCE OF THIS COVER IS STUNNING, LOVELY AND WHITE AND CLEAN.THESE OLD LINEN COVERS ARE NOW BECOMING VERY HARD TO FIND, ESPECIALLY IN THIS LARGE SIZE.MEASURES 90 X 1 read more
