Object Description
Ecru tablecloth with beige threads and floral cutwork design. The flowers are in the corners. Along the long side of the runner, there are two rectangles of cutwork. They have beige threads going vertically across them. The edges on the long side are scalloped. There is one flower in each corner. Each flower has eight petals, a hole in the middle, and three leaves behind the flower, making the corner. There are also two leaves in front of the flower and two arching leaves on each side. The arching leaves touch the leaves of the flower beside it on the short side of the runner (the cutwork around one leaf hasn't been cut out). There is an arch over where the leaves touch, as well as behind the three leaves that are behind each flower.
Origin
Erasmia Economou married Constantine Theodoropoulos on October 24, 1926, at the Assumption Greek Orthodox Church in Chicago.
