Assuit Project

The cost of vintage assuit has gone through the moon of late. I was lucky to get this piece at a very very reasonable price. I refuse to pay over $200 for them, so...I was quite surprised when this one arrived. It's very large and heavily embroidered. I cleaned it in oxyclean, yes, I know, not the preferred cleaner, but it did the trick. After a good rinse and a nice layout on towels to dry, it came up quite well. The color is off-white, not yellow as when I received it, and the tarnish spots have reduced to a very small area. There are two tears, one in the net and one in the midst of some embroidery, a little harder to repair. I do love it.
