THE VICTORIAN FILET CROCHET SHOP


Herein, in The Vintage Linens and Lace Shop, lies a passion for those unique antique and vintage linens and laces that come from an era when women had the time to dedicate and devote themselves to intricate sewing and handwork for their tables and their beds.  Our special passion is for fine, delicate and intricate filet crochet.   Each item is precious and special.  Please see The Victorian Needlework Shop for additional needlework items or The Victorian Needlepoint Pillow Shop for vintage and antique needlepoint pillows. You will find hand crocheted tablecloths and coverlets in The Victorian Hand Crocheted Tablecloth and Bedspread Shop.

All items have been gently hand soaked and laundered, repaired/restored as needed, and pressed.  We try our best to accurately describe each item and its condition.  All items are sold "as is".  If you have any question about a particular item or its condition, please contact us.

As with all vintage and antique linens, they are delicate and should be cared for with the respect and care they deserve.  Please only gently hand soak items in a gentle soap like Woolite, rinse in cool water and line dry.  Do not starch the linens as this will turn them yellow.  Just gentle iron the item when it is still a little damp.
