Made from a beautiful medium weight loom woven linen and richly embroidered.\u003cbr\u003e They feature a rectangular frame consisting of a panel with an embroidery placed centrally on each side representing the lily of Florence, in fact the noblewoman who had them made was Florentine.\u003cbr\u003e A beautiful embroidery that frames her initials, NS, embroidered in the center.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp\u003eAll around the pillowcase, a beautiful scalloped scallop, which makes these pillowcases truly precious and special.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e Another peculiarity is represented by the particular buttoning on one of the two short sides, which forms a bellows closed by beautiful mother-of-pearl buttons.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e The maximum usable size is 75x54 cm.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e The pillowcases have been carefully washed but I would like to point out that there may be small imperfections or signs of aging on these items, which I always prefer not to insist on too much, because they are very old and must be respected and loved for what they are. These are not defects but small testimonies of the age of these treasures that come from the past.\u003cbr\u003e You can machine wash them on a gentle cycle or by hand, with mild soap. Air dry them and do not spin.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003c!----\u003e","brand":"Cecibirbona","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48813704479048,"sku":"","price":94.4,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0608\/8153\/5157\/files\/coppia-di-federe-antiche-in-lino-con-ricamo-smerlo-e-monogramma-ns-biancheria-antica-per-la-casa-449.webp?v=1764965632","url":"https:\/\/www.cecibirbona.com\/en-mx\/products\/coppia-di-federe-antiche-in-lino-con-ricamo-smerlo-e-monogramma-ns","provider":"Cecibirbona","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
