About product

The tablecloth is made of linen fabric using techniques such as counted thread work, embroidered with wool thread. A characteristic feature of Záhorie embroidery is the geometric ornament /diamonds, hearts, stars/ using cutwork. A common additional element, embroidered with stem stitch, is ram’s horns. The typical color of the embroidery is white, possibly a combination of white with red.
