Material:  Fine Linen

Size:  31 x 31 & 3/4 inches
Quantity:  1 pair/2 shams

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 white satin stitched eyelet cutwork and satin stitch embroidery depicting a rather unusual Bluebell floral motif, with a very fancy border.

The backs open up for pillow insertion and close with 3 old fabric covered buttons, which are present.

The shams are in very nice, unused condition.  They did however have some storage related darkening along fold lines, as well as a few specks, so I washed and pressed them for the very first time.  With the exception of two tiny residual marks (see my last image) that may resolve with a soak, the cases are now clean and white.
A very nice pair of high quality, fine, never used antique cases.
