It is Beds general style, but too large a scale if the cloth is 45" wide. It
is most likely a lace from the same family, generally known as Cluny
laceand probably not made in England (even though from an English estate).
Lots of this type of linen came from Germany, France, or nearby areas
I would be concerned with the "freshly laundered and lightly starched"
(as described) condition of this "vintage" cloth if I were to be
bidding. Is this seller, whose screen name includes "quilter"
qualified to properly launder vintage linen? Happy Lacemaking,Betty Ann

Dear Friends,
this nice cloth looks like Bedfordshire Lace to me
