Antique Orange Yellow Silk Damask Tablecloth, Vtg Damask Linen Tablecloth, Decorative Tablecloth 49" x 47"

This is a stunning antique damask tablecloth which I suspect is made from silk. It's slightly oblong with a tasseled ornate outer edge. As with damask pieces, this table covering has a reverse pattern which I've pictured for you in the 6th picture. The workmanship here is just amazing. This piece is quite old, I'm dating it to the 1800's. As with silk pieces of this time, it is quite fragile and has some shattering here which is sure to continue.

Lead was put in silk during this time to increase it's weight as it was sold by the pound. Unfortunately this deteriorates the silk through time. I also see some light staining deals and some fringe loss here. The shattering is confined to the outermost edge primarily as I've shown in the pictures.

I thought this tablecloth could be preserved by ironing a backing to one side to prevent further deterioration as it shatters quite easily along the edge under its own weight. Just a thought but I'll leave this to the new owner.
