Description: This pair of antique entirely hand made pillow cases have been in my family for almost 100 years.They have been passed on to my mom from her mother who made them, and then my mother gave them to me.They have always been stored in cedar chests and never have they actually been put to use.They are of European origin and the lace is created by needle on a pure silk fabric which was also home spun and weaved by my grandmother. They used to weave their own mulberry silk fabrics at home, making clothes and sheets as well as other decorative embroidered items such as these.The workmanship is just exquisite and very hard to believe that this beautiful design was created by hand out of one sheet of silk fabric.The design of the lace is very pretty and very dainty as one can see, and in the center of each (cross like) design, one can see a tiny circle of the actual silk fabric remaining. This is the only evidence that this entire sheet was originally one solid piece of silk fabric.Each pillow case measures 26" X 18" The area on the back in which a pillow will fit is 22" X 15".These antique pillow cases are Museum quality items and definitely one of a kind.
