Vintage and Antique Linens by Em's Heart
Shabby King Size Italian Linen Sheet
Item Number S23108
Boo boos, lots of boo boos, so lets get all that out of the way: Age spots on one side, small separation in the seam, a small hole at the foot, small holes near a seam, one or two loose threads...oh. and charming irregularities in the hand work, all shown below....ok. I'm done!
Now for the good news: Huge king size sheet of deliciously drapey Italian wet spun finest linen was deeply embroidered with a Greek key pattern of pulled lace, fondly called "punch work". A deep, narrowly drawn hem extends the entire length of each side indicated this might have once been used as a summer bed cover. The embroidery extends nearly a yard around each top corner forming a generous turndown. Despite it's flaws, this is a grand piece...one you will not feel guilty using and using and using. Freshly laundered and pressed, in good, useful condition. c.1900 -- 1920's King size 107" X 108"
