 TRADITIONS OF THE FRENCH TROUSSEAU
from the humblest farmhouse to the grandest chateau, most household linens were marked with hand embroidered monograms
 from a simple kitchen cloths to the most beautiful linen sheets and table linens,   care was taken to "MARK THE TROUSSEAU" with the couples initials   The trousseau whether humble or extravagant was brought by the bride and remained her property. This tradition carried on until the early 20th century. NO WHERE ELSE IN EUROPE DO YOU FIND THIS TRADITION OF MONOGRAMMED LINEN TO THIS EXTENT. THE NAPKINS AND TABLECLOTHS I FIND BELONG TO THIS TRADITION, MOST DATE FROM LATE 19th TO EARLY 20th century. EVENTUALLY THERE WILL BE NO MORE, THEY ARE ALREADY BECOMING HARDER TO FIND.
