Seltene antike französische Aussteuer-Bettwäsche (4-teiliges Set) – Handgestickt & Klöppelspitze, - Bed sheet - 228 cm - 146 cm

For sale is an extraordinarily beautiful four-piece antique parade bed linen set from a French trousseau dating from the Belle Époque (ca. 1890–1910). The set impresses with masterful workmanship and consists of a fine, densely woven fabric (very high-quality half-linen/metis or Mako cotton), which feels wonderfully smooth and cool to the touch.

Special details:
- Elaborate handwork: Beautiful white embroidery with raised relief flower motifs, delicate eyelet lace (Broderie Anglaise), and artistically pleated borders.
- Monogram: All pieces bear the identical, elegantly intertwined Art Nouveau monogram “AL” in raised satin-stitch embroidery.
- Elegant lace: The edges are adorned with broad, handmade bobbin lace (in the style of Cluny/Le Puy).
- Historical function: The sheets are original oversheets (Draps du dessus) with buttonholes for fastening to the top cover.

Delivery contents & measurements:
- 2x oversheets: approx. 228 cm × 146 cm
- 2x pillowcases (square shape with 3-sided lace edging): approx. 77 cm × 73 cm

Excellent, clean, and age-appropriate condition for textiles over 120 years old. The set is ready to use for a historic ambiance or as an elegant summer bed. A very small open spot on one lace edge needs to be professionally secured (see the pictures). No major stains or damages.
