Pair of Antique Pillowcases with Monogram Panel and
Crochet Hem, 23 inches wide, 33 inches long, possibly hand-made, probably early
1900’s, possibly European (France or Germany), 1 has a tiny hole upper right, 1 has darkening from
age (probably stored around the other) plus a few small dark spots near the
top, the monogram is a “T” inside a crochet panel that is sewn into a cut out
in the fabric, the crochet hem is 2 ¼ inches long and is hand sewn to the
bottom folded edge of the pillowcase, the design is like a tilted seashell or
carrot, these are very large pillowcases which may indicate that they are
European, the most unusual feature is that there is no side stitching, only the
edge is stitched and the bottom edge is folded and stitched, this means that
they are basically flattened tubes, the cloth is either cotton or linen and
looks to be textured like homespun, but on what, a lovely set of antique
textiles.
