This rare broderie perse (chintz applique) dresser scarf is one of the most delicate pieces I have seen. The applique and hemmed edging are sewn with exquisitely tiny stitches. The fabrics appear to be block printed.
The piece measures 15 1/2" x 47"; all fabrics are cotton. Condition is excellent. This is a wonderful piece of American decorative art whether used on a table or mounted on a wall. Made circa 1830.
