3.375" x 86" (8.57cm x 218.44cm) Late 18th c style, straight border, with an undulating leaf and grape design. The uneven linen thread gives the mesh a streaky appearance, you see this in Lille sometimes. The motifs are quite simple, no extensive clothwork. B=Straight lower border where the repeat has a single woven tally and a very simple filling.
