Photography of the true colour of linen has difficulties associated with it. If you are seeking a particular colour send me a message attached to the linen item and I will endeavour to send you a reply with a photo of that item compared to a white piece of linen. 
 
All vintage linen may have knicks, small cuts, loose thread and missing stitches as well as fading and marking. The photography colour may vary slightly. 
 
 
Cross-stitch tablecloth from yesteryear
 
This tablecloth measures 130cm x 130cm approximately. 
 
It has numerous holes as shown in the photograph but is so pretty it is still worth the asking price!
 
The stitching is neat and tidy. 
 
It is in good vintage condition. The substantial hole near the border measures 3.5cm x 2cm.
 

I don't have any practical knowledge of the stitches and fibres of vintage linens. Please study the photos and make your decisions based on the photos and measurements provided. If you know what the stitches are feel free to send me a message with a link to the listing.
