A rare and very beautiful king sized sheet loomed of a weighty and exceptionally fine grade of pure white "fil de lin" linen. This lovely sheet has a grand central monogram, "GR," measuring 11.5 x 6.5 inches. The letters are embroidered in a very important relief of bourdon with a wonderful scrolling script that is highlighted with fat little polka dots and embellished with masterfully embroidered flowers executed in miniscule post point stitches. A lacy drawn thread row underscores the monogram and runs all along the return border. This sheet likely dates from the early 20th century. Hand-hemmed. Dimensions: 123 x 112.5in.
