LINEN
We offer an
extensive selection of antique French linen, both plain and monogrammed,
comprising double sheets, table cloths, napkins, tea cloths and hemp grain
sacks, which have been lovingly cared for and handed down from generation
to generation.
Linen is a beautiful, highly
absorbent and also durable fabric, having at least two to three times the
strength of cotton. Not only is the linen fibre strong, it is
smooth, making the finished fabric lint free. Fine china, silver and
candles are enhanced by the lustre of linen which only gets softer and
finer the more it is washed. Linen can be washed at a high
temperature making it a very practical fabric for today's home. The
fabric is best pressed while damp for optimum results.
Our antique linen sheets can, of
course, be used to dress a bed, but also make wonderfully stylish table
cloths, curtains and blinds. Likewise, beautiful pillows, bolsters
and bench seat cushions can be made from our hemp grain sacks and linen
for either the home or garden.
