"Ladies" Luncheon Cloth

Several months ago I bought this little "Luncheon Cloth" at a flea market here in Kansas. It measures 36"X36" and is made out of fine linen. As you can see, it has a gorgeous lady with a basket of flowers embroidered on each corner. (Please try to over look all the wrinkles! HA) Just looking at it brings to mind the days when ladies use to have "Club" or "Card Parties" and used things like this, can you imagine? How they ever kept them clean and white is beyond me! From the shape this one is in, it's obvious it wasn't used much!
