| This is an absolutely MAGNIFICENT linen banquet cloth hand loomed with a crown and the coat of arms of the Grand Duke of Tuscany Leopold II circa 1830-1840. This tablecloth measures 108 by 276 inches, it would have been used at the head table seating the Duke and Duchess themselves. In the mid 1800's the cloth was given as a gift to Marchesse & Marque Guido Tassistro of Florence which was then passed down in the family to the present when I was able to acquire it. The linen is a cream color, hand loomed with design elements of leaves and flowers at the side (I saw lilies, delphiniums and other garden flowers) with garden roses and butterflies inside, on each end (the picture only shows one end as it was too big to show the whole cloth) is a huge (well over a yard long) damask coat of arms with a crown, shield, lion en rampant, and cross flanked by flags with a large cross at the bottom. This tablecloth is in very good condition, I have washed and pressed it, the linen is very heavy, there is a tiny red cross stitched L 1N stitched in one corner. This is a rare piece with Royal lineage! |
