Pizzo burano Venezia - Bed sheet (3) - 2.58 cm - 2.23 cm - Embroided sheet

This precious sheet is a classic example of carved embroidery combined with Burano lace. The workmanship is distinguished by the typical ribbons or “fettucce” that form scrolls and floral motifs, joined together by bars with a darning stitch or network-connecting stitches. This vintage textile craft technique, historically used for the most refined bridal ensembles, is applied to high-quality fabrics such as pure fine cotton to make matrimonial sheets, flowers with four or more petals outlined by a continuous ribbon. Openwork carving: portions of fabric removed and replaced with embroidered network weaves to create beautiful plays of transparency. Small floral elements and embroidered branches with a filled stitch on the sides of the border. Never used, like new Dimensions; Sheet: 2.58 x 2.23 m Pillowcases: 0.90 x 0.55 m Shipping will be tracked
