Antique (1910s) Hand-Embroidered Pillow Case : Double Sided - To Drive All Cares Away // Geometric.
Decorative Accent Case. 20th Century American folk art needlework where blank cases were hand-decorated with custom imagery. Novelty designs featuring "Gentleman's Lounge" or card-room themes - like the four-aces and smoking pipe layout - were often stitched for dens, library daybeds, and smokehouses. Narrative and whimsical folk art embroidery. Faint aging, mild creasing, and surface texture consistent with a genuine vintage utility textile.
Age appropriate distress + discoloration. Good Vintage Condition. Small areas of discoloration throughout. No holes or tears. No closure at the bottom. Text at bottom regarding design + thread used for piece. Likely from a social club. Charming, slightly variable weight of the outline stitching shows the distinctive signature of an individual maker - hallmark of early-to-mid 20th-century home folk art. Double Sided. Reverse side shows a floral geometric pattern. Front shows cards, dice, and smoking pipe with text "To Drive All Cares Away".
Measurements : 15.25" x 15.75"
Price Includes Shipping.
