AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Superb large antique household linen sheet, probably from an old trousseau.
This elegant piece features an ecru-colored fabric (the natural color of linen), adorned with a magnificent raised embroidered monogram of two initials, accompanied by several large, particularly refined openwork embroidered panels.
The white embroidery on the ecru fabric is testament to traditional textile craftsmanship and great attention to detail.
Visible technical details:
• Drawn and gathered threads: To create this complex geometric triangular pattern, the embroiderer carefully removed a number of warp and weft threads from the linen fabric, then reworked the remaining structure with a needle to form these openwork square motifs.
• Satin stitch (or raised dots): A row of large raised embroidered dots clearly emphasizes the diagonal of the triangle, a classic finish on high-end household linens from the Art Deco period (1920s–1930s).
With its generous dimensions of 240 × 343 cm, this sheet is a beautiful size.
Features:
* Type: large antique sheet.
* Material: linen
* Color: natural ecru with white embroidery.
* Decoration: two-initial monogram and openwork embroidery.
* Dimensions: 240 × 343 cm.
* Quantity: 1 sheet.
* Period: probably early 20th century.
* Condition: antique, never used and never washed.
Special note: The linen has been left in its original, untouched condition. It has never been washed or used and has been preserved in its original antique state.
A very beautiful piece of antique linen, intended for lovers of traditional textiles, refined embroidery, and charming décor.
Note to the buyer:
As the sheet is antique and has never been washed or used, it is being sold as found, in its original preserved condition.
Slight marks from storage over the years may be present. Please take its age and authentic character into account.
No washing or treatment has been carried out in order to preserve the textile and its original embroidery.
