Important Note on Linen Texture (Slubs):**

Please note that this textile is woven from authentic vintage flax linen and features a beautifully rich, textured weave with numerous natural "slubs" (thick-and-thin variations in the spun threads) throughout the fabric. These slubs are an inherent characteristic of early, rustic weaving techniques and are highly prized by collectors as proof of age and natural fibers—they are not structural flaws or damage.

Perfect for bringing authentic rustic elegance to a farmhouse table, cottage decor, or a vintage textile collection.
