We will not relist unsold items anymore so please be aware that if you wish to purchase this on eBay at an eBay price, this is the only chance you will have. We are reducing our presence on eBay and will list items once, and once only. We will also only list a limited number of items going forward as our business changes. We hope you will bid and we hope you will buy, but our experience is that the - watch - button simply means most will forget about the item and not bid, resulting in disappointment since you then miss our great selection and great prices.

French linen blend white sheet with a row of drawnwork at the turndown edge and an ornate M W monogram.

Ancient Egyptians deemed linen - the cloth of the gods - Emperor Charlemagne concurred, decreeing that every Belgian household grow flax. And so for 13 centuries the craftspeople of the Flanders region in Belgium have spun straw into gold. This linen was also produced in France and Germany, and was more abundant than cotton. Hence, bedding and nightclothing were often made of linen, a luxury to our modern eyes. If you have ever tried sleeping under linen you will know what a wonderful feeling it is. The fabric breathes, and it’s light, yet warm enough. Very strong too, imagine mummies were wrapped in linen too, it has often come through time with little or no damage.

We are fortunate enough to have a great treasure trove of these wonderful old French sheets. Each one is unique. Some are linen lawn, some are linen, some are a linen and cotton mix called metis in France. Don’t miss out on these wonderful beauties, embroidered by young ladies for their trousseau, with monogram, drawnwork and wonderful embroidered adornments.
