Pescocostanzo linen border

3.5" x 69"
Good condition. Two joins, one partiallly cut 25" from one end. An area of fraying along the lower edge near the other end, repaired with a picoted cord. Occasional localized small brown stains. Some fraying along upper edge.
Linen: 2 Ply S, Single Z. average 0.285mm standard deviation 0.014mm

Perhaps a Pescocostanzo piece. Highly stylized vine/leaf/floral design with a plaited ground that looks similar to the square Valenciennes mesh. I'll keep it here until more information become available.
