A rare example of high-quality household linen from the turn of the 20th century, likely commissioned for a prestigious bridal trousseau. This set comprises one large sheet and two matching pillowcases, crafted from fine-gauge natural linen. The central decorative focus is the monogram 'Mercedes' executed in padded relief embroidery, flanked by delicate floral motifs. The wide decorative borders feature authentic handmade bobbin lace with geometric and floral patterns typical of the late Victorian and Edwardian eras. The pillowcases are designed with a traditional internal button closure system.
