AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Splendid and authentic antique bed set in pure, heavy linen, entirely spun and handcrafted. A piece of traditional trousseau history, characterized by a tactile, fresh, and incredibly robust texture, typical of domestic looms of the past. The set includes a large top sheet and two coordinating pillowcases. Dimensions: Sheet (top): 255 x 225 cm; Pillowcases: about 72 x 48 cm (visible in the photo with a measuring tape) with classic fabric closure ties. Details of Quality and Craftsmanship: Hand embroidery: Corners of the sheet monogrammed with the initials "A. M." embroidered in red cross-stitch, a distinctive mark of ownership of the original trousseau. Antique lace: The pillowcases and the hem of the sheet are adorned with a beautiful hand-cut/drawn-thread lace insert, creating a refined geometric and floral openwork pattern. The charm of the antique loom: As used in the early 1900s to reach the widths of modern beds from the narrow sheets of the manual loom, the sheet features longitudinal seams expertly sewn by hand (visible in the photo). A technical detail that is not a flaw but the authentic proof of its artisanal and historical craftsmanship. The set is in very good vintage condition, solid and ready to use or collect. Given that it is an authentic piece with decades of history, the following are noted: Very tiny and normal signs of aging. A slight and localized shadow/stain (shown in detail in the appropriate photo), easily treatable with proper traditional washing or solar bleaching. The seams and fabric are perfectly intact and durable. A unique piece, ideal for lovers of Shabby Chic style, rustic high-end, or for anyone wishing to rediscover the incomparable pleasure of sleeping in true antique linen.
