Vintage and Antique Products

All linen products that we sell are either vintage or antique, often with flaws that are inherent in these types of textiles. We wash most of our linen upon arrival to remove any dirt, stains and marks; however, because these fabrics have either been used or stored for many years, there may be small marks that won’t wash out or minor flaws in the material. These just bring out the age and character of these wonderful antique linen products. Learn about the history of how the linen was made. We do our best to describe the condition of each item. If, however, a certain condition is important to your purchase, please contact us, and we will try to find the right linen for you.

Order Processing Information

Email Confirmation: After you have ordered a product(s), we will automatically send you an email confirming that we have received your order.

Order Acceptance: Once we have reviewed the order, including your payment information and product availability, we will let you know via email if there are problems that prevent us from accepting the order.

Out of Stock Items: Because each item is unique, we try to update our inventory on the website frequently to prevent multiple orders for a single item. If, however, multiple orders are placed for a single item, the order from the first buyer will be given priority. Each subsequent buyer for that item will receive an immediate refund. Because each item is unique, it is not possible to place any item on backorder. We will be pleased, though, to help you find a similar item of your choice. Just drop us a note.
