Antique & Vintage   Antimacassar sets   Antimacassar gets its name chiefly from a port in Indonesia.  During Victorian times the port of Makkasar was famous for exporting oils (mostly palm and coconut) which were used to make a hair pomade for men.   It was quickly discovered that the pomade had a tendency to transfer from a gentleman’s hair to the back of the upholstered furniture he was sitting on.  Thus, the anti macassar was developed to protect the furniture.   Be sure to click on each picture for more details!   Pretty 3pc Hand Crocheted Antimacassar set for Lady’s Chair $36.00 Vintage Hand Crocheted Antimacassar Set – Parrots! – 3 Sets available $36.00 Puppies & Pansies – An Adorable Crocheted Antimacassar Set $36.00 Sold 3 pc Hand Crocheted Antimacassar Set – Southern Belle $36.00 Whimsical Vintage Hand Crocheted Antimacassar set - Puppies! $46.00 Antique crocheted antimacassar chair backs with filet kittens $12.00 Whimsical 3 pc Hand Crocheted Antimacassar Set - Chickens?
