19th Century Burano Border

3.25" x 77"
Dirty, but basically very good condition.

Border of a short repeat, drooping single flower with 3 rows of quatrafoil esprits. Simple fillings, couched cordonnet. This is a design hearkening back to the late 18th c, not the typical more heavy floral Burano design. Quite fine thread, good technique.
