Vintage Quaker Lace Camelia Table Topper, 42x42, machine made, floral, 1950s

Vintage Quaker Lace Camelia Table Topper, cream or ivory lace tablecloth with detailed floral or corded design often seen in Victorian- antique styles. A vintage machine-made lace tablecloth or table topper, manufactured mid-20th century based on the style and tag: The white fabric tag with 45X45 (indicating size) and a pattern number like 32 is highly characteristic of American lace companies from the 1950s or 60s. The tag lacks modern care instructions or fiber content labels, which suggests it predates July 1972 when the U.S. government began requiring full care labels. The square center panel of solid geometric, open-work confirms that this is from Quaker Lace's Camelia collection. This configuration is highly sought after by collectors. The distinct square-in-square visual layout makes it easier to stage as an accent overlay on top of solid-colored linens compared to all-over continuous mesh patterns. Note: I measured it at 42x42” For care, gentle hand washing
