Simply beautiful and very refined pair of white "fil de lin" linen pillow shams monogrammed MB in one corner in bourdon embroidery. These shams have a lacy Richelieu embroidered border executed with extreme finesse! The motif of interlacing vines is re-embroidered with tiny hearts and there also appear to be birds in the pattern - however; like finding shapes in clouds, this may not have been the embroideress' intent! Lovely, in any case, these shams close at the back with five mother-of-pearl buttons. Late 19th, early 20th c. Perfect condition. Dimensions exterior: 30.5 x 26.5in., interior: 26.5 x 22.5in.
