This beautiful French vintage sheet or could be easily repurposed into a unique curtain just by adding a tube or rufflette across the top.
Perfect for adding a unique touch of elegance to any bedroom.
The design features a monogrammed EG or GC and intricate Lily Of The Valley embroidery, giving a unique and timeless charm to the Linen Metis material .
It will wash whiter with each wash & is slightly off white which signifies it only being laundered probably twice .(Once by me)
METIS
The French seem to have the innate ability to blend beauty and utility creating wonderful everyday items like this monogrammed metis linen sheet
Metis means "mix" which is exactly what metis linen is, usually a mix of 35% cotton and 65% linen
Pure linen in the warp or woof and cotton in the weft or warp.
(although other fibre combinations were also woven such as 30/70 or 70/30.)
Metis linen is the "workhorse" of French bedding.It is a heavy-duty fabric designed to be washed repeatedly and to stand up to the rough washing techniques of long ago.
Appearing in France in the early 1900s, metis linen was introduced as a less expensive bedding material than pure linen, it is easier to iron, and It quickly became a welcomed wedding gift or part of a young girl's dowry.
Metis linen has been handed down through generations
