Small square crazy patchwork piece, possibly a table cover, made from velvet and silk fabrics. Each piece has been elaborately embroidered with a range of stitches to create different patterns and motifs, including anchors, flowers, and games such as croquet. One piece has the initials ‘R. R.’ and the date ‘1886’. Some of the patches also have applied motifs and sequins. The patchwork is backed with a dark red coloured wool fabric and edged with a blue cord.
