An exceptional pair of pure white "fil de lin" pillow shams with a beautifully embroidered central monogram "AM." These stunning shams are loomed of an extremely silky linen and are decorated on all four sides with a ribbon of tiny embroidered beads interspersed with sprays of forget-me-knots and larger bouquets in each of the four corners. All of the embroidery is executed with a truly remarkable finesse. A softly scalloped bobbin lace borders the edge of each sham and they close at the back with five tiny mother-of-pearl buttons. These lovely shams likely date from the turn of the 20th century and are in impeccable, as-new condition. Dimensions: interior 25 x 24in., exterior 30 x 29in.
