DECORATIVE LINEN SHEETS
Two examples of large fine linen sheets with decorative embroidery and openwork borders. Both in first class condition - probably kept on one side for 'best' and little used.
Upper sheet measures 10'2" X 7"4 with initial T.B. or J.B price £165
Lower sheet 10' X7'8" initial M.R. elaborate border with retours, openwork diamonds, squares, triangles and poix £160. contact Elizabeth Baer at dbaer@onetel.com retours are the extra emb. parts down the sides of the sheet and a mark of good quality linen! Poix (peas)are the large polka dots emb. typical of 20s and 30s designs.
