Bonjour, welcome to Les Toiles Blanches stock!
here a nice mantelpiece cover that dates c1900.
The fabric is a medium weight linen with a good hand and nice pale ecru tones.
The curtain is long with a rectangular shape to cover the top of the chimney or shelf.
This antique valance is hand embroidered with a stunning large PD monogram in the center of the textile.
This embroidered textile is beautifully trimmed with a large piece of filet lace.
The mantelpiece is in a
gorgeous timeworn condition with one tiny tear at one side, reflected in the price.
I have freshly laundered and pressed this mantelpiece, it is ready to use!

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.
