Pescocostanzo linen border

4" 232"
Very good condition. Extensive localized brown staining, but no obvious damage.
Cotton: 2 Ply S, Single Z. average 0.461mm standard deviation 0.027mm

Perhaps a Pescocostazo piece. Highly stylized vine/leaf/floral design with a plaited ground that looks similar to the round Valenciennes mesh. What is unusual are the tallies in the centers of the flowers, and the cotton thread (similar to Pescocostanzo_border_2).
