Summary
A white cotton furniture cover for an item of nursery furniture, possibly a dressing table or washstand. The cover is shaped and sewn rather like a valance sheet. There is a plain white cotton rectangle in the centre around three sides of which has been sewn a white cotton 'skirt' decorated with an embroidered dot motif. This 'skirt' turns the corners of fourth side of the cotton rectangle, but is not sewn along the length of this fourth side.
