From a local estate, I've got a lovely assortment of fine vintage linen and lace up for auction this week. Be sure to check my other listings.
This auction is for :
Item: 2 Antique Italian Linen Twin Bed Sheets
Details: Exquisite pair ! These two Italian linen beauties each measure 104 x 67 inches and feature inserted Point de Venise lace along with hand embroidered and cutwork details in a scrolling pattern of grapes and leaves. Edged with 2-1/4 inch filet lace. Both appeared unused when found, and were completely brown from age and decades of storage. Both have been soaked immaculate and are rejuvenated. A couple of small spots linger on one, along one edge, nothing significant. Should come out next wash. No holes or rips. Simply gorgeous !
All of my repeat customers are aware that I have had a passion for antique & vintage linen and laces for many years. I take particularly great care of them and have my own methods in eliminating or reducing discolorations as a result of age and/or usage. They have generally been used and/or handled by their previous owners over many years. Most are rarely perfect. None are in brand new condition. Most are purchased because of their beauty, intricate details and continued years of life left to them, in enjoyment. In the description and photos I try to be as accurate as humanly possible about any flaws or damage that I can visually see and feel. Sometimes tiny and/or barely noticeable imperfections may be missed and should be expected of old textiles. Please be mindful that color tones can also vary on different computers. Be sure to view and enlarge all photos before bidding and ask any questions if you are uncertain about the condition of any item. All sales are final and returns are not accepted unless there has been a careless and gross error in my item description.
