Italy; Completo Letto, a handmade white cotton matrimonial bed set from the 1950s–1960s, including a top sheet 280 x 250 cm and two pillow shams 105 x 75 cm, in good condition with minor age-related marks.
Description from the seller
Antique double bed linen set, an authentic expression of Italian textile craftsmanship from the mid-20th century. The set is made of pure white cotton of excellent weight, characterized by rich and complex handmade workmanship that dignifies its aesthetics.
The set stands out for a coordinated decorative array of the highest quality, executed entirely by hand:
Coherent Cutwork (Intaglio): The cutwork technique is the absolute protagonist. It is featured in the elegant auspicious inscriptions "Sogni Felici" and, with extreme mastery, along the entire perimeter frill. This last element is not a simple cut-out, but a geometric cutwork job where the fabric has been perforated and refined with a very dense blanket stitch and joining bars, creating a lace-like effect of great strength and precision.
Raised Satin Stitch: The floral motifs, berries and small petals are executed in padded satin stitch, giving the design a precious three-dimensionality.
Grass Stitch: Used to define the stems and veins of the foliage that connect the embroidered sections.
Dimensions
Top sheet: 280 x 250 cm (large double bed size).
2 Pillow Shams: 105 x 75 cm (note: these are pillow shams, not duvet covers; they are intended to rest on the pillow and not contain it.)
Conditions and Conservation Notes
The fabric is structurally sound, strong and intact. As highlighted in the close-up photographs, there are a few small yellowing stains from storage (time yellowing due to the long period spent in a chest). They are typical signs of antique ensembles and do not affect the quality of the cotton.
Shipping information and customs duties
The item will be packed with the utmost care and shipped with tracking.
For buyers residing outside the European Union (extra-EU): Any customs duties, import taxes or clearance fees are the sole responsibility of the buyer.
These costs are not included in the auction price or in the indicated shipping charges and will be charged by the authorities or the courier at delivery.
Please check in advance the current regulations in your country to avoid unexpected charges.
