CIRCA 1820-1830's,LOVELY FINE WHITEWORK EMBROIDERED MUSLIN PANEL. The design is quite superb on this offering but even more superb is the excellent whitework embroidery. It is absolutely perfect in it's execution and was certainly made by a master embroiderer. All I can say is how fortunate "Carolina"was to have this item made for her!and one can only imagine how refined the lady's bedroom was I think it is a sham cover. Items like this would only have been made to lay over a pillow.. certainly not to sleep on.There is a central oval medallion composed of stylized flowers , leaves and a diamond motif enclosing flower-heads above the initials. The four corners have flower sprays and the scalloped buttonholed edges have tiny florets and sprigs. I can assure you that as good as the pictures look..in person one would be amazed at the embroiderer's skill. Measuring 28" by 28".In very good strong condition.
