Description from the seller

Splendid antique white cotton bed set with pastel Sangallo lace embroidery - Top sheet and 2 pillowcases - Wonderful linen set
The set is made in a cotton fabric of excellent heft and a pristine white color. The standout feature of this lot is the extraordinary, meticulous handcrafted work: both the sheet hem and the pillowcases feature a very rich Sangallo lace border with floral embroidery rendered in delicate pastel tones (lavender, pink, pale yellow, and pale green) and finished with scalloped edges.
Small floral motifs embroidered are also elegantly scattered across the fabric surface. of the pillowcases

The pillowcases have a refined back closure with exquisite original vintage mother-of-pearl buttons.

Dimensions:

Pillowcases: 50 x 80 cm (size of the pillow body, excluding the lace edge).
Top sheet 240x290
Because this is vintage linen that has been stored for a long time in a hope chest, classic signs of age due to prolonged disuse are present.
In particular, on the pillowcases you can clearly notice some staining from bloom/yellowing and amber halos typical of storage. The sheet presents overall cleaner condition, though it also shows the usual light shading of time.

This is a bed set of exquisite workmanship, including a top sheet and pillowcases, made in a clean, fresh white cotton or cotton-blend fabric. The set is characterized by elaborate pastel Sangallo-style lace embroidery, adding a touch of elegance and vintage charm. The design features intricate details, including scalloped edges, floral motifs and a coordinated needlepoint lace border.

Colored Sangallo Lace: The strong point of this set is the extraordinary Sangallo lace carefully embroidered along the edges of the pillowcases and the hem of the sheet. The floral motifs are created in a delightful range of pastel tones, including lavender, pale pink, pale yellow and pale green.

Intricate Details and Edges: The embroidery includes delicate flowers, tendrils, and cut geometric motifs within the fabric. The pillowcase edges are scalloped and bordered with a lavender thread that frames the lace details.

Coordinated Needle Lace Border: Just above the scalloped Sangallo lace there is a coordinating band of needle lace or a needle insert. This intricate edge features a series of geometric “X” shapes and squares within a multicolored waved embroidered frame (lavender, yellow, pink, green).

Motifs of Small Flowers Scattered: In addition to the main lace border, the pillowcases and the sheet hem are decorated with small individually embroidered floral motifs in the colors of the larger border flowers.
This bed linen set perfectly combines the classic Sangallo lace design with a cheerful, colorful pastel palette. The intricate details, exquisite craftsmanship, and well-finished touches make it a charming and unique addition to any bedroom, evoking a sense of vintage elegance and nostalgic sweetness.
