Every now and again you come across a real treasure. This small vintage style tablecloth or teacloth has inspired me to learn more about fabrics through the ages. This tablecloth you see in the photo has a special quality apart from it being a damask. The history of damask as you know originated from Damascus. A very specific type of fabric with the design woven into the fabric in such a way that it shimmers. The roses have been strategically placed to give the cloth balance and appeal. The colouring is extremely delicate and there is cut work to add to the value of this treasure. It was only in my possession for such a short time as there are many collectors out there in the big wide world.
