Bed sheet - 290 cm - 80 cm - Fake bed

A faux antique double-bed sheet (decorative set). An authentic masterpiece of Italian textile craftsmanship dating to the Liberty period (pre-1914). The piece stands out for its exceptional execution and museum-quality condition, ideal both for purist collectors and as a luxurious accent furnishing element (monumental runner, headboard, or curtains). Key Features & Needlework: Fabric and Authenticity: Made in pure heavy, tactile antique linen. The semi-sheer weave clearly highlights the characteristic "flame marks" and the small irregular thread knots, unmistakable evidence of artisanal spinning and the subsequent beating on early 20th-century manual looms. Central Monogram: At the top dominates a majestic, sinuous floral monogram with the intertwined initials "T" and "S" in elegant period cursive script, masterfully executed in relief satin stitch. Cutwork (Lacework): The letters and the rich trailing botanicals (characterized by umbrella-like flowering heads and symmetric foliate motifs) are finished with a fine cutwork stitch, whose openings are impeccably clean and stable thanks to perfect needle-link bars. Double Sheer Border and Lace: The decorative base is defined by a double order of horizontal openwork counted by threads: an inner linear ground in a line stitch (columns) and a rich outer band in hourglass-shaped lilies cutwork. The edge is finally finished with a delicate Valenciennes-inspired lace hand-applied. Conservation Status: Excellent / From a collection. The garment is structurally intact in every part. The linen preserves a bright, uniform whiteness: it shows no yellowing halos from oxidation, no moisture/storage stains, no tears or repairs in either the fabric or the delicate cutwork openings or the lace hem. Cleaned, sanitized, and ready to use.
