Bonjour, welcome to Les Toiles Blanches!

here is a gorgeous  trousseau tablecloth that dates c1930.

The fabric is stunning linen fil, a gorgeous soft floppy fabric of medium weight with a pale off the white color and a fluid hand.

The tablecloth is beautifully embroidered by very skilled hands, probably in Indochine where French used to rule before and after the second WW with an amazing decor of four large dragons on the center surrounded by pulled thread works and vietnamien peasants embroidered on the sides. 

The long tablecloth is trimmed by ladder works.

The work of high relief embroideries is really a gem!

The shape of this tablecloth is rectangular with a good length that indicates that this beautiful trousseau cloth was meant to cover a long table.

The tablecloth is in a fine flawless condition.

This tablecloth is laundered and pressed, ready to use!

Ideal for a special table, or to use on Sunday family lunches!

TOWELS, NAPKINS, TABLECLOTHS

Antique napkins, towels and tablecloths date from late 19th century, early 20th. They can be hand embroidered with high relief bourdon stitches and cross stitches monograms, in white and sometimes in red yearn. They are usually woven in damask, a weaving technique that produces a reversible fabric with an elaborate glossy pattern against a matte background. Check, roses, flowers and leaves, crowns, art nouveau, patterns weaving are gorgeous. Antique towels and napkins are made from the best linen quality, with a silky touch due to the high quality long linen fiber. They are very durable textiles that become wonderfully supple with time. Ideal to wash warm and perfect to use everyday, they are fine also for period textile projects.

  Textile Care

Antique linen is a living material, if you treasure it, it will reward you a hundred times. A lot of antique textiles are so robust and wonderfully easy to wash and maintain. The fibres of these exceptional fabrics were grown without any use of chemical, these textiles are organic. No need to use chemicals to wash antique textiles, a good simple natural soap such as the savon de Marseille is fine for every kind of linen. The textiles can be machine washed on warm. The warmer ithey will be washed, the softer and floppier they will turn. Again, no need to use a softener, a dash of white vinegar or a spoon of baking soda are perfect to maintain these wonderful textiles. Dry them on the line if possible, expose them under sun light to brighten the natural white.

  information

The textiles I propose show signs of times, marks that are a moving, precious treasure which attests a bygone era. I will always try to describe them as accuratly as possible, giving many details, measurements and pictures to show the reality of the linen. Estimating the age of a fabric is not scientific but rather archeologic, many signs are useful, such as the stitches, the embroideries, the sewing, the colour, the texture, even the smell of the fabrics can help. Sometimes, the auctioneers or the owners give me precious information about the origin of the trousseau, monograms, name of the ancestors. Experience is also crucial to feel and judge the fiber content, the age, the origin or the use of the textile. I will strive to describe the textiles in the most complete way, using my honest judgement, having spent many years manipulating them.

Please note my textiles come from a smoke free house. When they are freshly laundered, the textiles have been washed with natural organic soap and sun dried on line. I recently started selling my treasures, new items will be on sale every day, so please keep your eyes peeled!
