. The red and white checked cover has a hole to the border and staining to the border and to patches. There are a couple of small holes to the patches and wear. The white patchwork cover has a stitched repair to the trim. This may be 19th Century or due to the stylised hearts, it could be early 20th, but feels like it ‘has age’. It is very faded, and there is discolouration to all the white areas. One patch has split, there are some stitched repairs and splits to red borders. Also discoloured to the reverse. See images.
