Early 20th-century French bedding set consisting of a flat sheet and a large-format pillowcase. This piece comes from a bridal trousseau and has been preserved without previous use, maintaining its original finish.

History of the item:
The set represents the excellence of French home linen from the Belle Époque. Entirely handmade, it stands out for the use of the Richelieu embroidery technique (cutwork) and an elaborate central monogram with the initials "HC", surrounded by floral and ornamental motifs.

Technical details:
- Period: 1910s
- Technique: Richelieu embroidery, cutwork, and hand-embroidered monogram.
- Material: 100% High-density linen (1200 g total weight).
- Sheet measurements: 250 cm x 220 cm (98.4 x 86.6 inches).
- Pillowcase measurements: 130 cm x 42 cm (51.2 x 16.5 inches).
- Condition: Excellent, unused (deadstock). The fabric has not been washed, preserving the patina of time and the natural color of antique linen.

Item value:
A high-value piece for collectors of antique textiles, historical interior design, or for use in luxury vintage bedding. Given the nature of antique linen, a careful first wash is recommended to restore the softness and whiteness of the fabric.
