White square textile with embroidered floral designs. The textile has a thick border on all sides featuring embroidered flowers, leaves and stems in shades of yellow, pink, blue, and green. The border on the left and right sides are identical. The bottom border is denser with more complex designs. Inside the border, 25 smaller floral designs are scattered across the textile in 5 rows of 5. The background behind the textile is white. The textile appears to be a bed curtain, made by Sarah Noyes Chester.
