Round pillowcase c. 19th century

This 19th-century, anonymous, round pillowcase is a stunning example of intricate needlework. The delicate lacework features a central motif of three overlapping circles, each adorned with floral patterns. The outer border is composed of a frilled edge, adding a touch of softness and elegance. The piece, now housed at the Minneapolis Institute of Art, highlights the artistry and craftsmanship of textile production in the 19th century.
