Can you believe the French knots in this lovely bed set?? Each piece (2 pillowcases and a flat sheet) are edged with a wide, buttery yellow border and hand embroidered with a cartouche of flowers, each made with tiny but abundant french knots... there must be a kazillion total!!! The pillowcases each measure 20" x 29" and the sheet measures 78" wide and was added on to to make it 100" long (thats a good thing as during this era it was customary for sheets to reach just below your shoulders). Despite a light bleed (pictured) on one of the pillowcases, the set is strong with brilliant colors and in perfect condition. Ready to snuggle under with a good book and guaranteed to charm your guests.
Hand laundered, air dried and pressed. Excellent condition. c. 1930's-50
