This comprehensive, illustrated survey explores the more common
linens and fabrics once carefully stored in American linen closets
and hope chests and proudly spread on tables and in neatly made up
bedrooms. More than 500 color photographs illustrate these diverse
and colorful areas of collecting, ranging from intricate and
detailed samplers, embroidery, and tatting, to simple but elegant
pieces such as hand towels and splashers; pillow cases, shams and
bolsters; quilts and coverlets; rugs; scarves and runners; sheets
and blankets; tablecloths; and tray and teacart cloths.You'll even
find early factory-made fabrics, a breakthrough for homemakers of
the time. Helpful, creative tips on caring for old and damaged
pieces, as well as new ideas for decorating with them, are also
included. Written for both the novice antiquer and the experienced
dealer, Collecting More Household Linens is a wonderful guide to
the linens found decorating our homes for decades.
