Early whitework hanky with crown monogram circa early 1800s
Fine early hanky with hand embroidered crown monogram circa early 1800s. This hanky measures 17.5 inches square, the crown monogram denotes nobility over a hand embroidered B. v. R. monogram (Baron von R...) It could have belonged to a man or woman, the fabric feels like silk, hand woven, very fine, light and soft! The edges of the hanky have finely embroidered flowers and leaves with sanding and teeny little cutwork embellishments. Over-all condition of this hanky is very good, there are only a couple small breaks near the monogram that are pictured, I have not washed it so it retains its patina. This was part of the Florence Colgate Speranza collection.
Circa: early 1800s
Condition: used
Color: cream

Fabulous Ivory handle hair brush sterling silver crown monogram circa 1800s
Fabulous Ivory handle hair brush with sterling crown monogram circa 1800s. This brush measures 9 inches long and is 2.75 inches wide, the natural boar bristles are 3.5 inches wide and 1 inch long, the substantial silver inlay monogram measures 2 by 1.25 inches. This brush is in remarkable condition, the bristles are intact and the ivory is in good shape, the brush is clean. I absolutely love the monogram a majestic LLC (or however you wish to arrange the letters) with the crown, this obviously belonged to a member of the nobility and has been well cared for.

Ivory glove stretcher with sterling silver crown monogram circa 1800s
Fab Ivory glove stretcher with sterling crown monogram circa 1800s. This glove stretched measures 9 inches long and is 0.75 inches wide at the widest part of the handle, the silver inlay monogram is 1.25 inches long and 5/8 inch (15mm) wide. There is a chip from the ivory at the end of the handle and the flat spring is a bit rusted but that's just surface rust, its strong and works just fine, there is also a crack in the side of the ivory ball in the middle and the top to one of the silver L's is gone, all of this is pictured. Still this is a nifty item I absolutely love the monogram a majestic LLC (or however you wish to arrange the letters) with the crown, this obviously belonged to a member of the nobility.

Fabulous Ivory handle hair brush sterling silver crown monogram circa 1800s
Fabulous Ivory handle hair brush with sterling crown monogram circa 1800s. This brush measures 9 inches long and is 2.75 inches wide, the natural boar bristles are 3.5 inches wide and 1 inch long, the substantial silver inlay monogram measures 2 by 1.25 inches. I absolutely love the monogram a majestic LLC (or however you wish to arrange the letters) with the crown, this obviously belonged to a member of the nobility. This brush is in good condition but not perfect, there are some missing bristles at the sides, a few small tight cracks in the ivory at the top end and sides (pictured), these are all consistent with normal use. This would look great on the dresser or placed on a lovely table just so...you could pretend to have royal connections!

Armorial linen damask tablecloth Grand Duke of Tuscany Leopold II c1830-40
This is an absolutely MAGNIFICENT linen banquet cloth hand loomed with a crown and the coat of arms of the Grand Duke of Tuscany Leopold II circa 1830-1840. This tablecloth measures 108 by 276 inches, it would have been used at the head table seating the Duke and Duchess themselves. In the mid 1800's the cloth was given as a gift to Marchesse & Marque Guido Tassistro of Florence which was then passed down in the family to the present when I was able to acquire it. The linen is a cream color, hand loomed with design elements of leaves and flowers at the side (I saw lilies, delphiniums and other garden flowers) with garden roses and butterflies inside, on each end (the picture only shows one end as it was too big to show the whole cloth) is a huge (well over a yard long) damask coat of arms with a crown, shield, lion en rampant, and cross flanked by flags with a large cross at the bottom. This tablecloth is in very good condition, I have washed and pressed it, the linen is very heavy, there is a tiny red cross stitched L 1N stitched in one corner. This is a rare piece with Royal lineage!
Circa: circa 1830-40
Condition: used
Color: cream

From Castle Howard dated 1863 linen damask bedspread or tablecloth
From the famous Castle Howard is the beautiful hand loomed linen damask bedspread or tablecloth with a crown monogram dated 1863. This piece measures 106 inches wide and 140 inches long, as the center pattern is directional it could be used either as a large bedspread (would fit a queen or king bed) or a tablecloth. The hems are stitched by hand with teensy stitches, the gorgeous damask pattern in a William Morris style has a huge Oak tree in the center with acorns, at the bottom of this tree are fruits and vegetables of all kinds, I see a melon, carrots, peas or beans, grapes on the vine, and turnip. Around the edges of the cloth are flowers, shells, fruits and vegetables, every time I look at this piece I see things I hadn't seen before, its very detailed. In the lower right corner is a tiny red hand embroidered crown over a letter C 4 and the date 1863 (the C most likely stands for the Earl of Carlisle). This bedspread or tablecloth is in excellent condition, it is washed and pressed, the color is white. This is a high quality piece, the linen is tightly woven and weighty, no expense was spared in making this exceptional cloth! Castle Howard in York is considered to be one of the finer historic houses in England, there is a Castle Howard website castlehoward.co.uk .
Circa: 1863
Condition: used
Color: cream

8 linen damask napkins Crown and G monogram Princely provenance dated 1905
This is a set of 8 linen damask napkins with a hand embroidered Crown and G monogram dated 1905, this set belonged to George II of the Princely House of Saxe-Meiningen (HH Reigning Duke George II of Saxe-Meiningen and Hildburghausen) . These beautiful napkins measure 32 by 37 inches, the hems are hand stitched with teensy almost invisible stitches, lovely handwork. The damask pattern is a very stylized floral with curlicues and leaves. The napkins appear to have very little use, they are in excellent condition, I have washed and pressed them. The linen is of the highest quality as one would expect linens owned by royalty to be, incredible hand and drape! These are really fabulous napkins!
