Item Description
It is difficult to find the superlatives to describe these amazing sheets and the photos just can't do the fabulous texture justice.
These are a pair of unused hand spun, hand woven and hand stitched mid 19th century French hemp sheets - a very exciting find. They came from the depths of rural Burgundy and have been stored in a big farmhouse for over 100 years. They are now freshly laundered and ready to start a new life.
The hemp is wonderful, it has such character and is a mid stone/biscuit sort of colour; hard to describe and harder to photograph. They are finished with narrow hems and made in the traditional way with a centre seam joining two narrow panels of fabric. Entirely hand stitched, of course.
These sheets are well over 100 years! In excellent condition, clean and ready for use. There are just a few little marks and a little section of one seam has come loose.
Please don't buy these to cut them up! I have plenty of unhemmed/unfinished hemp that can be used for that, please just ask me!
Approximate weight per sheet: 2700 grams
Please add £20 for UK postage.
