In addition, I&#039;m not certain which is the front and back as there seems to be some frayed tape joins on both sides.&nbsp; There are not many flaws on either side, so I suppose either side will work. It is a heavy, substantial piece.</p><p><br /></p><p>The seller had actually machine washed the tablecloth!! <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/frown.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":(" unselectable="on" /> and I had to carefully iron it flat again. That could have caused the fraying. I&#039;m sure there are some other areas that a photo would be helpful.&nbsp; I can take more is you think it will help.&nbsp;&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>As for the age of the tablecloth, the lady I purchased it from was in her 60s and the tablecloth had been her mother&#039;s. She didn&#039;t seem to know much about it. </p><p><br /></p><p>For quite some time, I have been looking for a handmade point de venise tablecloth (actually white or off-white) I could afford.&nbsp; This will do quite nicely, especially for $40.&nbsp; I&#039;m happy! </p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks again for your response,</p><p>Deb[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
