 4 Antique French Linen Sheets UNUSED Monogram MC 66" x 110" IDENTICAL Unbleached
Ref GI
 
These are lovely ancient stiff and crisp sheets woven in 19th century. To find 2 unused identical sheets from this period with a monogram, is rare, 4 is extraordinary!!
They have hand stitched hems with tiny stitches and  a hand stitched central seam - showing that they were loomed on the ancient narrow looms, before they were replaced.
The fabric is linen , but not floppy linen, more crisp and crunchy.
The monogram is large and pretty, and is decorated with love knot stitch. The letters are slender but quite pronounced and raised from the fabric.
These would make wonderful drapes, or even unpick the central seam for 2 panels, each having one letter of the monogram.
Dimensions: Sheet 66" wide x 110" long  168cmx280cm Monogram 5" x 6 "  13cmx15cm
Colour: light ecru, the original colour of the linen. With repeated washing they will go lighter in colour
Condition:  This set of 4 sheets are unused, but one has a couple of small spots, do see the last photo
Freshly laundered just to remove dust.

These sheets formed part of a bride's dowry linen or trousseau, with both their initials monogrammed onto all the household linen. Some were made by the bride herself, and others given as wedding presents, and made by female members of her family. They would make perfect curtains or drapes covering a patio window, or other large space, as linen drapes beautifully and is popular with interior designers for that reason, and because it takes dye easily. The linen would also be perfect for large tablecloths, pelmets, as sheets as originally intended, or, because it is still so strong, any upholstery or slipcover project you have in mind. Offcuts can be used for cushions, scented door hangers, or pieced together to make a wonderful patchwork quilt incorporating other vintage textiles and even monograms, like the one I saw recently. Freshly washed and ironed so ready to use!!

Most of the items that I list will be vintage or used, so may show signs of their previous history, which is the whole charm of these pre-loved items. If you are looking for a pristine, unused item, then my finds are probably not for you. I do my best to describe their condition accurately. Generally I find that these items have been cherished possessions at a time when people did not live in such a throwaway society, so they made things to last, and took care of them. From a smoke free household Thanks for looking and happy bidding
