Linen Letters

From a long out-of-print unnamed Italian book on beautiful monogram embroidery. Many examples in the book were embroidered for royalty over the 20th century, which accounts for the many crowns in a number of the monograms. The ornate designs are lovely, but I cannot even imagine the painstaking amount of handwork involved in making of each of them. With monogrammed bed linens such as these, it would be sweet dreams in Letterland for me every night.
