AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Set of 2 pairs of antique white linen sheets hand-embroidered, 230×320 cm — French bourgeois trousseau late 19th / early 20th century
Superb set of two pairs of large antique bed sheets, from a French bourgeois-quality trousseau, dating likely to the late 19th or early 20th century.
Pair No. 1 — Monogram and Lace:
Large sheet in fine ivory-white fabric, adorned with an elegant hand-embroidered monogram with interlaced letters, framed by satin-stitch flowers. The top edge features beautiful openwork motifs, bobbin lace insertions, and open diamond medallions. Festooned border hand-embroidered. A work of great finesse, typical of wedding trousseaux of the period.
Pair No. 2 — Floral Baskets and Birds:
Pair with a particularly refined figurative design: baskets of flowers, ribbons and birds embroidered in openwork Richelieu embroidery, inserted in cartouches framed by openwork. The bottom of the sheet is adorned with a wide festoon border with flower motifs cut out in embroidery stitches. The workmanship is remarkably precise and rich.
Dimensions: 230 × 320 cm each sheet
Fabric: white linen
Embroidery: entirely hand made
