Metis means "mix" The French seem to have the innate ability to blend beauty and utility creating wonderful everyday items like this monogrammed metis linen sheet   Metis means "mix" which is exactly what metis linen is, usually a mix of 35% cotton and 65% linen  Pure linen in the warp or woof and cotton in the weft or warp.  (although other fibre combinations were also woven such as 30/70 or 70/30.) Metis linen is the "workhorse" of French bedding. It is a heavy-duty fabric designed to be washed repeatedly and to stand up to the rough washing techniques of long ago.  Appearing in France in the early 1900s, metis linen was introduced as a less expensive bedding material than pure linen, it is easier to iron, and  It quickly became a welcomed wedding gift or part of a young girl's dowry.  Metis linen has been handed down through generations       MEASUREMENTS approx  Width 78 ins = 200 cms   Length 112 ins = 280 cms  Weighs1.5 kilos   SHIPPING I send from my home here in France, using reliable, efficient, fully tracked & insured couriers   The UK & Europe  UPS or equivalent  FREE (you could have several sheets or other items sent at this cost)  WORLDWIDE £28 USA  Australia  PLEASE CONTACT ME, before committing  IF YOU WANT A QUOTE FOR MULTI PURCHASES.

Unlined Literally translating to "Cloth from Jouy" (a little town near Versailles), this famous, pretty printed fabric is an important part of French history and savoir-faire. Along with idyllic, romantic landscape scenes, toile patterns were also used to tell a story. Some referenced tales of European mythology and others mirrored major events of the time. For the printing process, vignettes were originally carved on woodblocks, and after 1770, engraved on copper plates. MEASUREMENTS of each curtain    Length  2.7 meters = 106 ins with a 6 ins hem.

Gorgeous, so elegantly French, beautiful wall 'appliques'.  Beautiful  almost ormolu colour..  Such elegance!  Heavy and very good quality They measure approx 11 1/4" (28.5cm) in length.  The wiring is good - it looks new.   (It is always generally advised to get electrical items checked and fitted by a qualified person.)  There are a few nibbles on the top of the  'candles' s to each light as to be expected with age - so they look, perfectly aged in my view!  They are also different on each light as often happens.. These are really beautiful  wall sconce's.  They could go anywhere in the house.  Beside the bed, in a hall way over a hallway table...  I personally like them when they are set at different levels or perhaps in a bathroom to add a superb touch of elegance!  But that is just my preference... To put these wherever you want - don't forget, you can actually have long wires put onto these, and then simply plug them into a socket. You cover the flex in a long tube of ruffled material to disguise it a little and that way - they can go wherever you want them to! These will be sent by registered post. Feel free to ask questions. This item is an Antique or vintage French. The charm of another era. It has lived a story. It was therefore used or has been in storage a very long time. Despite all my time and attention in preparation and checking, a detail can always escape me. It may need some TLC and a especially a little clean before use or display;) I will always combine postage but please contact me first for a quote. I ship via French post-priority service  that takes 1 week within European countries and 1 - 2.5 weeks to the other countries
