Item:142287662670CHERUBS Rare Antique c1920 Handmade BOBBIN LACE Italy 12 PLACEMATS & RUNNER. Rare and gorgeous set of 12 antique handmade bobbin lace placemats and matching table runner, circa 1920. Likely Italian. Frolicking cherubs dance with ribbons, and on the runner, they whisper to graceful ladies too. On the placemats, the lace-maker has subtly and playfully varied the spirals and circles of the ribbons around the cherubs, making each mat ever so slightly different (examples in 2nd last photo). An impossible-to-find full set, and absolutely beautiful! The placemats measure about 11 x 16 inches, and the runner 15 x 46 inches. Lace is made from fine linen threads, and the color is light ecru. Excellent condition, rarely used. Recently laundered, bright and clean. Some minor color variations among the group, and a couple of small openings in the lace (see last photo). This set looks spectacular.
