Vintage cutwork dresser scarf

 
Here's another piece that inspired us to tea dye. We found it in the same antiques shop as the Damask pillow cover. Hmm, maybe we should go back there more often!

Tea dyeing beautifully enhanced the exquisite crochet work that highlights this dresser scarf. (That's what we call it, but you could just as easily use it as a wall hanging, on your tea table, or draped over the back of a chair.)

Because this is a vintage piece, we have no information about country of manufacture or fabric content, although we believe the slightly nubbly fabric is linen, and the decorative crochet work is cotton. As you would expect with a vintage textile, there is some sign of previous usage, although nothing that distracts from its beauty -- we found three very small spots that appear as a slightly darker tea shade near the middle of the piece. Please note that any other splotches or shadows are only in the photograph, not in the piece itself.

Colour is a pure "tea with milk" shade with a hint of rosiness. The crochet work is a shade or two darker, highlighting the beautiful workmanship. We further enhanced the basic design on one side of this piece with our signature tea leaf design in a rich violet colour. The reverse side is plain, with no patterned embellishment.

This lovely dresser scarf measures approximately 14" wide by 33" long.

Please note that we are unable to accept returns on vintage textile pieces, but please also note that we do not sell anything that we ourselves would not use or wear.
