AL Monogram Antique Linen Kitchen Ladies Apron - Embroidered Apron

A dress for the kitchen....because it's not just an apron. It is a marvel that comes to us from the distant past.

Its story begins about a century ago, with a wonderful antique linen fabric with a wonderful monogram that I was lucky enough to find in a forgotten trunk in an old attic. A piece of the past that has seen the light again after so many decades.

An apron in the classic model of Cecibirbona, with a wide bodice that continues in two ruched panels and connected on the sides by two bows, with two comfortable front pockets.

A beautiful pure linen fabric, the one of the past, handmade on a loom, resistant but soft, destined to last over time. The loom-made fabrics had a width dictated by the dimensions of the loom itself and were therefore hand-sewn in length and these resistant and perfect handmade seams are proudly displayed on the skirt.

But the spotlights are focused on a detail of the bodice that makes this apron unique and very precious... the beautiful original hand-made embroidery of the monogram to which the cloth belonged: two beautiful letters in capital italics, AL. They are two letters in relief embroidery, executed to perfection, and they are so beautiful and unique that I decided to give gold all the space it deserves, on the bodice of this beautiful apron.

The fit is comfortable, it adjusts with the bows on the sides, a detail that makes it suitable for all sizes.

On request it will be possible to embroider the name of the person who will wear it.

The fabric is a beautiful pure linen from the early 1900s, so small imperfections characterize it and testify to its past history.
