A Length of Patched Cotton Mosquito Netting: Faint Color

early twentieth century
60" x 15 1/2", 152.5 cm x 39 cm

This softly colored and somewhat tattered beauty is a length of cotton mosquito netting, the powdery blue hue is a perfect match for the drapey hand of the cloth.

There are a few patches and some holes, shown, as well there are faint stains to the body of the piece which seem to be in the spirit of things. The top portion is segmented and is machine stitched.

The cloth itself would make an ideal, casual scarf, a home accessory--it would do well to be admired as art.
