Bedspread or tablecloth in Richelieu and Bourbon embroidery from the 19th century
Detailed description:

Bourbon embroidery is known for its delicate patterns and often rich in details. It highlights fine embroidery techniques, executed in relief in complex stitches.
Roses, symbols of elegance and refinement, form the central motif and the main accents of this piece.
The palmettes in Bourbon embroidery are used as complementary ornaments and evoke symmetry and harmony.

The Putti, these small angels or cherubs often represented in Renaissance and Baroque art, symbolize innocence, joy and happiness.
Their placement around a square in the center of the tablecloth attracts attention and creates a delicate and harmonious focal point.
The Putti, forming a continuous frieze on the edges all the way, bring a decorative unity.
This choice evokes luxurious textiles where every detail is meticulously thought out.

Richelieu embroidery, also called openwork embroidery, is featured on the decoration of the bedspread to enhance delicate and elegant patterns and a subtle play of transparency and texture. You can insert a colored fabric underneath to highlight the patterns.

The combination of Bourbon and Richelieu embroidery techniques demonstrates a sought-after craftsmanship and visual richness.
The use of roses and Putti indicates refined know-how and a preference for detailed and delicate ornaments.
This bedspread represents a remarkable fusion of techniques and styles, illustrating the refinement of textile art in the 19th century.
A real treasure for embroidery and history lovers!
This bedspread of this nature would be intended for a luxurious bedroom to receive your guests.
The bedspread, which can be used as a tablecloth to decorate a pretty table, has been washed and ironed, ready to be used.
