Bright and fresh as a sunny spring day this pretty sheet, loomed of an exceptionally fine, bright white "fil de lin" linen, is a feast of daisies with large bouquets in each corner and sprays throughout the return. The embroidery, executed in bourdon and post point, is unusually fine and precise with absolutely miniscule stitches in the centers of the flowers and the bows that gather them in each corner. Three rows of delicate drawn thread embroidery run along the entire width and height of the return and an elegant monogram, "GD," framed in a diamond adorns the center of the sheet. A sign of quality in the details, there is a hand sewn hemstitched hem at the foot of the sheet. This lovely summer weight sheet likely dates from the early 20th century and is in impeccable condition. Dimensions: 128 x 92.5in
