The panel measures approx. 80" by 80" and probably would have been used as a back drop to a lace stand.The designs are grand and are large scaled with images of ladies in classical dress, children, cherubs, musical instruments etc.A Belle Epoque design of scrolling vines and florals with flower swags. The lace seems unused and was probably used in the Fair as a wall hanging.One could use as curtain, panel or bedspread if desired.

CIRCA 1900, LOVELY TRANSLUCENT TAMBOUR LACE CURTAINS. Lovely 'Art Nouveau" era pair of curtains measuring approx. almost 90" by 24" wide with 2" turnover for each panel. The design is very unusual with meandering vines and flowers that seem like lilies.

In very good strong condition, a couple minor tiny openings.Personally I think they were just stored in trunk for many years and perhaps were never used. We laundered these to make sure they came up strong and in good condition.This listing is for one pair, we also have another matching pair in good condition. It is very rare to find unusual curtains like this in such good condition.
