19th c. linen sheet monogrammed RL

19th c. linen sheet monogrammed RL

This ecru linen sheet was loomed in the true 19th c. tradition on smaller looms, evidenced by its serged central seam. It was necessary to join the two pieces in the center to create a width large enough to accomodate a bed. The quality of the linen, buttery soft yet tightly woven and strong, is incomparable to anything one can find today. The embroidery is ample and elaborate with a very large central monogram RL in postpoint and plumetis accented with a delightful spray of flowers. A fancy one inch crossed thread row of embroidery runs the length of the border. Dimensions: 110 x 81in.
