There is a jewel like quality in the beauty, delicacy and precise craftsmanship of this splendid pillow sham! Certainly the work of a very talented and experienced embroideress this lovely sham is loomed of whisper-thin pure white linen batiste and embroidered throughout its interior border with an assortment of intricately rendered flowers in bourdon, tige and post point. Three tiny drawn thread rows interlace with the embroidery and a fourth row delineates the edge. This sham is entirely and masterfully hand stitched and it closes at the back with six mother-of-pearl buttons. Likely dating from the late 19th to early 20th century, this beautiful pillow sham is in perfect condition. Dimensions: interior 27 x 26in., exterior 31 x 30in.
