A strikingly pretty pair of superb quality eggshell white "fil de lin" linen pillow shams embroidered on all four sides. These beautiful shams have an elaborate crossed drawn thread frame with interspersed whimsical embroidered shapes reminiscent of the art nouveau/art deco periods. The handwork is very finely executed with an important relief to the embroidery and the shams are entirely hand made with an equal finesse. A delicate hemstitch frames the border and they close at the back with five mother-of-pearl buttons. Likely dating from the early to mid 20th century these shams are in impeccable, unused condition. Dimensions: interior 26.5 x25in., exterior 30.5 x 29in.
