For the discerning collector of fine vintage textiles...
This exceptional five-piece collection of custom-made bed linens emerged from a distinguished Hudson, New York country house, where such luxury appointments were essential to gracious living. Dating to the 1930s, these pieces represent the pinnacle of American domestic craftsmanship during the Art Deco era.
The Collection Comprises:
Two Elegant Pillow Shams (31" × 18")
Featuring exquisite hand-crocheted inlay work and a sophisticated monogram "N" executed in period-appropriate styling. These larger shams showcase the meticulous attention to detail that defined quality linens of the era.
One Grand Bedcover/Throw (82" × 82")
A magnificent square textile bearing the same distinguished "N" monogram, this versatile piece could serve equally well as a bedcover, decorative overlay, or even repurposed as striking window treatments. The substantial size speaks to the grand proportions of country house furnishings.
Two Petite Pillow Cases (21" × 32")
Adorned with charming crocheted "petticoat" hems that demonstrate the playful sophistication of 1930s needlework. These smaller cases complete the coordinated ensemble with feminine flourishes.
Provenance & Condition
Originally commissioned for a Hudson Valley retreat, these linens embody the era when custom bed linens were considered essential to proper country house living. Each piece reflects the period's dedication to beauty in everyday objects, when no detail was too small for artistic consideration.
The collection presents beautifully with expected gentle aging appropriate to nearly century-old textiles. One piece shows evidence of a careful period repair—a testament to the care these treasured linens received throughout their long life.
Perfect for the collector of American decorative arts, devotees of 1930s style, or anyone seeking to bring authentic vintage elegance to their sleeping quarters.
