Domestic object - Tablecloth, Unknown maker, 1940s-1950s

Historical information

This was purchased in the 1950s at the Emerald Market, which was held in Station Street, Emerald. It was used in the home of Elaine and Doug Morris from the 1950s-2016. (Elaine is the granddaughter of the founder of the Gembrook Nurseries, Carl Axel Nobelius.)
This tablecloth was used in the home for 60 years. Its excellent condition suggests it was either used only as a decoration or for 'good' occasions.
