Antique Round Braided Silk Tabletop Mat - Two of Two wooden spoon with hooked handle which I like in part

which I like in part for all of the corrections and notes from the instructor on top of them

though occasionally surprisingly poetic

Still really looks great

Really three earrings in one

1918--I'd guess a class assignment from an advertising design class

Antique Round Braided Silk Tabletop Mat - Two of Two wooden spoon with hooked handle which I like in partI've become such a fan of these old braided mats, and look at a lot of them before landing on ones I really like. This and one other I am listing I found together and assume were made by the same person, who I think had a very good eye for color and pattern. Good on the table under the coffee pot or tea pot or dishes or candlesticks or whatever. 13 1 2" in diameter and in good antique condition on both side, definitely used and a bit faded, but lovely.
