Book Reviews of Vintage White Linens (Schiffer Book for Collectors)
Book Review: Great pictures - Not enough
Summary: 3 Stars
This book has great pictures and examples of various linens, but there is not enough explanation on what the characteristics are that differentiate one lace from another. Great for general examples, but anyone interested in becoming a serious collector will need more.
Summary of Vintage White Linens (Schiffer Book for Collectors)
Heirloom household linens embody decades of culture and tradition to bring elegance and comfort into the home. From common domestic doilies to European tablecloths exquisitely adorned with hand embroidery and lace, Vintage White Linens helps explain why collectors passionately seek out these intimate linen treasures. To aid in identification, the book is organized alphabetically, so beginners, collectors, and discerning decorators can identify variations from handmade knit lace to machine-made eyelet embroidery, from fine linen sheets to factory made bureau scarves. Tips for finding linen treasures, caring for them, and using them around the house are included. Vintage White Linens is a visual treat and an essential price guide for anyone interested in household linens.Reference Books
