XXL embroidered 19th century raw hemp canvas tablecloth

19th century hemp canvas tablecloth embroidered with a huge red yv number. Dense and heavy tablecloth made from 3 lengths of canvas, including a filler length, woven on a small loom. Splendid humility of this piece of popular art, expressive, wild and radical. Note the virtuosity of the stitching, the contrast of the fabrics, the strips of unequal width, and the contrast of these marvelous details with the majesty of the monogram. Here in its folds, the conservation foxing will disappear with the first wash after cold soaking. Extraordinary piece in the perfection of imperfection. Easy dimensions, 2.20m X 1.75m. Sensitive and masterful.
