Know before you buy
Because this is a delicate, one-of-a-kind vintage piece, it is not machine washable. We recommend spot cleaning with a damp cloth or professional dry cleaning to preserve the integrity of the hand stitching and cotton fabric.
While it is durable enough to be used as a table centerpiece or a decorative pillow cover, it is a vintage textile. It is best suited for light decorative use rather than heavy, everyday wear to ensure the intricate hand stitching remains intact.
The textile features a layered cotton construction, giving it a quilted, tactile feel. It has a substantial weight compared to a single-layer fabric but remains flexible enough to be draped or framed.
This piece is in excellent vintage condition, meaning it has been carefully preserved. However, as a one-of-a-kind textile with a history, you may notice minor character marks that reflect its authentic, handmade nature.
Due to its size of 31" x 23", this piece works beautifully when mounted on a custom frame, hung from a decorative wooden quilt hanger, or secured with small, non-damaging textile clips.
