Beutifully Designd NEEDLEPOINT FRUIT TAPESTRY RUNNER Beautiful piece of ANTIQUE LINEN TABLE RUNNER we had the great fortune to purchase at this quality linen sale where an antique store sold our their store.

Lovely FRUIT MOTIF DESIGN in a EUROPEAN (ROMAN) FLAIR with spiral columns on each side of the runner. Main focal point is the bountiful flow of VARIOUS FRUIT down the center, then bordered on each side a floral motif. GORGEOUS!! There are luscious yellow pears, purple plums, grapes in gold and purple, golden pineapple, red strawberries, raspberries, red cherries, apples, and peaches.

This piece I believe had a combination of expert workmanship. Small intricate needlepoint work, maybe petit point work, took a lot of time to create this beauty!!(Hoping my photos will help you determine how this was made.) WOULD LOOK EXQUISITE ON YOUR DINING ROOM TABLE!!

MEASURES: 42 inches L X 12-1/2 inches W. A lot of intricate stitches went into this piece. You can see the *depth* they tried to accomplish in the way they sewn the piece. You can see and feel the accentuated way that each piece of fruit, and even background simply *pops out* at you. So many stitches, they even put in *over-stitches* on the fruit to make it appear to shine as a highlight in color, like real fruit would look. They even used threading of gold and copper for added shine and dimension. You can see the intricate way they sewn these grapes to create that added texture and highlights!

GORGEOUS! Beautiful piece of linen! PERFECT CONDITION!! Can find nothing wrong with this lovely!! You will definately treasure owning this runner!! The backing is a nice black sheen, could be silk (?)or mixed with cotton. Either way is a quality material used for the backing. Finished off in a nice rolled edge and stitched tight so this lovely will not unravel. Perfect sewing!!

Shipping/Handling in the U.S.A. will be $9.50. INSURANCE EXTRA/OPTIONAL. Thanks for visiting Dogwood Trail Antiques.
