Bed sheet (3) - 300 cm - 280 cm - 1930s trousseau

Rare Elite Ensemble from the 1930s: Monumental Double-Bed Sheet and Two Coordinated Pillow Shams in Richelieu Embroidery and Hand-Made Filet Lace
Beautiful 1930s-era double bed linen set, an authentic textile craftsmanship and high artisanal tailoring of the era.
The sheet measures a very large 300 x 280 cm in vintage, very high-quality cotton thread, heavy and durable. The body of the sheet is not a single industrial sheet, but is masterfully composed of three pieces joined along the length. The seams are joined by tailoring stitches executed entirely by hand, with ultra-fine stitches and practically invisible, a hallmark of artisanal work on period looms.
The upper ruffle is enriched with a sumptuous Richelieu-style embroidery done by hand. Within the cutwork are inserted 38 large and rich floral motifs (diameter 10 cm) with 8 petals, all worked entirely in filet. The fusion of the Richelieu cutwork with the filet lace insert represents the pinnacle of textile mastery of the period.
The set is complete with its two coordinated pillow shams in exactly the same thread and fabric as the base. Each sham shows substantial workmanship, decorated with 46 flowers each (diameter 7 cm) using the same cutwork and filet technique, for a total of 92 hand-worked micro-insertions.
Condition: The set presents in generally excellent condition, the fabric is solid and the white is pristine. Only, for utmost precision and transparency, a very tiny spot (likely rust or from a chest) of a few millimeters in diameter on one of the two pillow shams. A unique piece for a high-end collection.
