AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Lot of 2 pairs of antique white linen sheets hand-embroidered, 230×320 cm — French trousseau late 19th / early 20th century
Superb lot of two pairs of large antique bed sheets, sourced from a French bourgeois-quality trousseau, dating probably from the late 19th or early 20th century.
Pair #1 — Monogram and lace:
Large sheet in fine ivory-white fabric, adorned with an elegant hand-embroidered monogram with intertwined letters, framed by satin-stitch flowers. The top edge features exquisite eyelets in a lattice pattern, bobbin lace insertions, and openwork diamond medallions. A festooned, hand-embroidered border. A work of great finesse, typical of wedding trousseaus of the era.
Pair #2 — Floral baskets and birds:
Pair with a particularly sought-after figurative motif: baskets of flowers, ribbons and birds embroidered in openwork Richelieu embroidery, inserted in bordered cartouches with eyelets. The bottom of the sheet is adorned with a wide festooned border with cut-out flower motifs in embroidery stitches. The workmanship is remarkable for its precision and richness.
Dimensions: 230 × 320 cm for each sheet
Fabric: white linen
Embroidery entirely done by hand
