vintage French embroidered sheet
This vintage French linen sheet probably dates back to the 1950s or earlier. It has an enormous hand embroidered ton on ton monogram with the sweetest butterfly motif filled with french knots. I think the initials are CL or CI or GI or GL but they really are so swirly and lavish it is difficult to tell! This really is the largest monogram I've seen so far on a sheet. The linen or metis is pure white in color and has all the fine slubs and irregularities you expect from a pure linen or linen mix textile. This sheet also has deep jours or drawn thread work. It really is a lovely example of beautiful vintage French linen bedding with lashings of hand done detailing.
