Bonjour, welcome to Les Toiles Blanches stock!

here is a stunning pure trousseau bed sheet that dates c1930.

The fabric is a gorgeous fil of linen of medium weight with a fantastic hand, a fluid and floppy texture and a delicate off-white tone.

The bed sheet has a large white satin stitch CG monogram hand embroidered in a medaillon art deco style.

This dowry bed sheet is finely built with one large filet lace entredeux and another large strip of filet lace trim, both running the all width of the top sheet and the turn down. Framing the entredeux and before the trim, three tiny rows of ladderwork are also running the top hem.

The measurements of this beautiful sheet are special too, so long and wide!

This trousseau sheet is in fine condition, as found, having been hardly used and carefully stored laundered in a closet for many years.

A treasure to love and use for many years to come!

FIL OF LINEN BED SHEETS

Fil de lin is the term we French people use to describe the finest quality fibers of the softer part of the flax. Those fil de lin bed sheets are the purest fluid fabric, supple, medium to heavy weight with a stunning floppy hand and a silky touch. They are typical antique linen trousseau dowry with a wonderful tactile texture. These bed sheets are usually wide, embroidered with beautifully crafted monogram and openworks that run the whole width and on the discovery, for the turn down of the sheet. Some of those exeptionnal sheets were meant to be exposed, we call them ceremonial sheets. The sheet overflows from the bed with a multitude of ornaments, laces and embroideries. A pure delight to sleep in those sheets, thanks to their dramatic falling, they can decorate any window or sofa beautifully as well.




Textile Care

Antique linen is a living material, if you treasure it, it will reward you a hundred times. A lot of antique textiles are so robust and wonderfully easy to wash and maintain. The fibres of these exceptional fabrics were grown without any use of chemical, these textiles are organic. No need to use chemicals to wash antique textiles, a good simple natural soap such as the savon de Marseille is fine for every kind of linen. The textiles can be machine washed on warm. The warmer ithey will be washed, the softer and floppier they will turn. Again, no need to use a softener, a dash of white vinegar or a spoon of baking soda are perfect to maintain these wonderful textiles. Dry them on the line if possible, expose them under sun light to brighten the natural white.



information

The textiles I propose show signs of times, marks that are a moving, precious treasure which attests a bygone era. I will always try to describe them as accuratly as possible, giving many details, measurements and pictures to show the reality of the linen. Estimating the age of a fabric is not scientific but rather archeologic, many signs are useful, such as the stitches, the embroideries, the sewing, the colour, the texture, even the smell of the fabrics can help. Sometimes, the auctionneers or the owners give me precious information about the origin of the trousseau, monograms, name of the ancestors. Experience is also crucial to feel and judge the fiber content, the age, the origin or the use of the textile. I will strive to describe the textiles in the most complete way, using my honest judgement, having spent many years manipulating them.

Please note my textiles come from a smoke free house. When they are freshly laundered, the textiles have been washed with natural organic soap and sun dried on line . I recently started selling my treasures, new items will be on sale very often, so please keep your eyes peeled!
