06-052. Russel Wright
Modern Spice tablecloth
Simtex
USA, 1950
52 x 82"
Spun rayon & cotton
Unsigned (the sewn-in label has been removed)

Even though I find Modern Spice tablecloths in the Pepper/Paprika color space more often than any other Russel Wright Simtex cloth, this size is exceedingly uncommon. This is the largest of any Simtex cloth I've ever seen, and to accomodate the extra size, a second row of border has been added to the design. This is a feature I was unaware of in these large Russel Wright linen designs.

Found on July 08, 2006 in Minneapolis, MN.
