Bed sheet (3) - 265 cm - 268 cm - Filet lace and unraveling

Complete Double Bed Linen Set with 2 Pillowcases in Antique Cotton with Filet Lace and Double Drawn Thread - Italy, circa 1930 - Condition: Excellent Refined antique double bed linen set (circa the 1930s), a superb example of Italian textile craftsmanship from an important private Sicilian dowry: the set is made of heavy, loom-finished pure antique cotton fabric, characterized by great robustness and a pristine natural white shade. Details and Craftsmanship: • Filet Lace Insets: 7 geometric inserts along the upper edge of the sheet and cascading down the sides. The lace is entirely handmade and depicts an elegant, classic rose-branch motif. • Double Decorative Drawn Thread: A very fine drawn thread work geometrically frames the lace inserts, while a second drawn thread runs along the entire perimeter, creating a beautiful border for the sheet. • Edge Finish: The sheet is completed with a substantial hem finished about 5 cm high. • Coordinated Pillowcases: 2 pillowcases (85 x 55 cm) faithfully reproduce the same decoration and drawn thread work as the sheet, enriched by 3 filet lace inserts each. The drawn-thread work is present on 3 sides. Dimensions: Top sheet: 265 x 268 cm (Maxi size, ideal for modern double beds) Pillowcases: 85 x 55 cm Condition of conservation truly good for fabrics of this era. The fabric is sound, free of stains, humidity halos, tears or repairs. The only preservation detail: the old buttons were removed from the pillowcases (as was customary at the time to facilitate ironing and washing), but the original buttonholes are perfectly intact and sound. A timeless piece of rare availability in this state.
