The lowest edge of the sheets has a hand worked Richelieu lace border with roses and is trimmed with hand made lace. Above this is a gorgeous central cartouche with an angel / cherub playing a lyre. This is surrounded by a delightful garland with a central rose and flowers and leaves. The linen of the sheets is fabulous. It is a true antique white in colour.
The sheets have been laundered and are very crisp and fresh. There are one or two tiny marks remaining (see pics) but they do not detract. Each sheet measures 300 cm (9 ft 10 inches) long x 204 cm (6 ft 8.25 inches) wide. This gorgeous pair of sheets would make the ultimate wedding present, but would be even better to keep for one's self.
