AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

*Double Bed Sheet in Pure Cotton with a Hand-Embroidered Ruffle "Sonni Felici"*

This high-quality pure cotton double bed sheet is adorned with a wide hand-embroidered ruffle bearing the sweet inscription "Sonni Felici." The ruffle, typical of the early 1900s, is an example of traditional Italian craftsmanship: called "finta" or ("dubia" in Milanese dialect). Historically it was detached, so it could be laid on the turn-down edge of the sheet when the patient had to receive visitors. Completing the set are two pillowcases bearing the embroidered letter "A".

A piece of history and tradition, perfect for collectors and lovers of Italian craftsmanship.
