Collect and care for antique monogrammed linens.

Initial Attraction

The art of combining two or more letters together into one beautiful symbol or monogram is centuries old. Once upon a time, only royalty or nobility could afford linens adorned with their own initials. Household linens were painstakingly embroidered with white satin stitches and great finesse, each piece finely executed by hand.

These days, antique monogrammed linens are collected for their artistic beauty, and collectors don’t mind whose initials are emblazoned on them. Antique, one-of-a-kind pieces with monograms have storied pasts and are one way to express your own personal style at home.
