Antique(1920-?) Embroidered Purse/Clutch or Book Cover>

         An Antique/Vintage Embroidered  Linen Cover, possibly for a Clutch-style handbag, Memo book or Checkbook. Possibly ?1920-1950. I think it's 1940's. Cotton Embroidery Floss, hand worked in  the full five strands of the floss in a straightforward chain stitch. NOT Tambour(Tambor) work. The tightly woven, unbleached fabric is in superb condition, with no rot, tears or fading. There is one storage stain near the edge of the piece,nowhere near the worked areas. The embroidery is tight, even, clean and whole: no damage. An interesting piece, it would frame beautifully as is, or could be made up. In Peacock Blue, Rust, Celery, Mint, and Tan. Measures  16" x 14 1/2" overall, with the design area measuring 9" x 11 3/4".
