It is beautiful quality linen; immaculate, very little used, and just divine!  The linen is heavy, cool and smooth, and the decoration is delightful, featuring embroidered cyclamens with cutwork and a central monogram of the letters MCE.  It is still a pale creamy colour, and you can just make out the "pur lin fleure blue" logo along the edge - both signs of how very little use it has had. Just running out of superlatives with this sheet - please take a good look at the photos, they say it all far more succinctly than I can. The sheet is in excellent, hardly used condition, with no signs of wear or damage.  There are a couple of very pale storage marks, shown in one of the photos, which will quickly soak out.  What an amazing curtain this would make - and just imagine how sumptuous it would be on your bed!
