The embroidery is especially lovely, with beautifully worked satin stitches that give the initials a sculptural quality against the smooth ivory-white linen. A double row of decorative handworked ladderwork runs across the sheet above its generously hemmed edge.

Made from substantial, heavier-weight linen, this is a wonderful example of traditional French household textiles. The fabric has a beautiful natural texture and the timeless simplicity that makes antique French bedding so desirable.

Monogrammed sheets were an important part of a French bride's trousseau, often lovingly embroidered and carefully preserved for her future home.

Perfect for an elegant French country bedroom, layered antique bedding, or a beautifully appointed guest room.

Sourced in France for The Paris Apartment.
