A matching pair of unused antique, very fine linen, white fancy continental show
pillow shams or cases, c. 1910-20.
The pillowcases are decorated with expertly finished white satin stitch eyelet cutwork
and satin stitch multi floral and scallop embroidery.
The backs open up for pillow insertion and close with 3 old fabric covered buttons,
which are present.
The shams are in excellent, unused condition, with no stains, holes, snags, rust
or any other problem.. While photographing the linens I noticed one had light storage
marks along the original fold lines, so I laundered and pressed both and they are
now fresh and sparkling white. An exceptionally nice pair of high quality, fine,
never used antique cases.
