A lavish work of art this beautiful sheet was undoubtedly destined to be a marriage sheet for an important trousseau! Loomed of a sumptuous grade of pure white "fil de lin" linen with a very silken hand and fluid drape, it boasts a treasure trove of embroidery throughout the sheet return featuring arabesques and crescents in Richelieu embroidery, flowers and vines in English cutwork and plumetis, and a luxurious display of fancy crossed drawn thread work. The embroidery extends throughout the entire width of the sheet return as well as a full 36 inches of the height on either side. Likely dating from the end of the 19th to the beginning of the 20th century, this stunning sheet is in impeccable, as-new condition! Dimensions: 130 x 91.5in.
