| Most likely created created for her trousseau, this delightful and exceptional sham has the characteristics of Swiss Appenzell work, most often made for a trousseau. There is hand embroidered love birds with the typical raised outline around the figures, in a deeply padded button hole scalloped cloud of drawn thread work. The fine antique linen button on single sham or pillow case, was repurposed probably from a larger European size, with 4 shell buttons for the hand sewn button holes. Across the top and one end are three rows of drawnwork crossed repeatedly with beautifully executed lobed flowers with tiny stitched leaves. Perfect for a boudoir pillow for yourself or as a wedding gift for a special couple! The soft, cool, and drapey linen is a light weight. Inside measures 22" X 18" inside, total measurement 27" X 21" including the 3" flange across top and 2 sides. I found this in Switzerland, and have laundered and pressed it.
