For your consideration: a charming set of six vintage French cotton pillowcases, circa 1920, beautifully crafted with both machine and hand-finished details that exemplify the quality of French domestic linens from this era.
Perfect for Modern Living
These pillowcases accommodate standard size pillows, measuring approximately 18" x 30". We absolutely love using vintage linens like these and mixing them with contemporary percale sheet sets—they add that extra touch of sophistication, coziness, and timeless French style that transforms an ordinary guest room into something truly special.
Condition & Care
All six pillowcases are in very good condition, with one showing an old, period-appropriate repair that speaks to the loving care these pieces have received over the decades. Each piece has been thoughtfully cleaned using our special lavender soap imported from France—the same gentle cleanser we use for all the vintage linens we discover and offer for sale.
Our Unique Cleaning Process
We take extraordinary care in preparing these vintage treasures for their new homes. Our cleaning process uses fresh spring water from our own natural source, accessed through a dedicated tap that provides the pure, mineral-rich water perfect for delicate vintage fibers. After washing, everything is hung on our wash line to dry naturally in the hemlock and pine-scented mountain air of our forest aerie in northern Vermont.
