In my constant search for antique fabrics I sometimes come across real treasures, as in this case.
A trunk from an ancient villa that contained the personal trousseau of Angiolina, a noblewoman who lived at the end of the 19th century.
A real discovery, so many beautiful and perfectly preserved pieces, thanks to the fact that they were forgotten for over a century inside this trunk.
Precious garments that tell us about another era, other lives, industrious hands that embroidered and sewed.
In addition to personal items, there were also bed and bathroom linens.
This is Angiolina's laundry bag, really beautiful. Made with a beautiful textured fabric and extensively enriched with lace.
The envelope is made up of three overlapping parts, the outermost of which, which closes the envelope, is a masterpiece. Beige lace strips intersect to form a frame that encloses Angiolina's initials embroidered in beautiful English cursive. All surrounded by beautiful lace matching the first.
The maximum usable size is 32x48cm.
The envelope has been carefully washed but I did not want to insist on some small stains that it has in some places, because it is very old and must be respected and loved for what it is. These are not defects but small testimonies of the age that this set has.
You can wash it by hand, with mild soap. Air dry it, away from the sun.
