I need some help in determining the value of some family antique linens. Many of the pieces are white work - or cut work and embroidery (pillowcases/shams, sheets, towels).
Hi,
There are a number of books on valuing linens out that can help you get a rough idea - check local bookstore or library. . A general rule of thumb is that if the piece is 50-100 years old it is considered vintage. After 100 it is considered an antique.
A Gun, 'Don't Look at My Face,' and Then They Hit the Safe
Before he could react, George Bardwil had a gun pointed in his face.
It was Monday afternoon when Mr. Bardwil, a linen manufacturer, answered a call at his garden apartment on East 51st Street in Manhattan and was confronted by two robbers — one armed with a black semiautomatic handgun.
The gunman said, “ ‘Don’t look at my face,’ ” said Mr. Bardwil, 59, who is semiretired from his decades-old family-run business, Bardwil Industries , which makes tables linens, place mats, napkins and bath towels.
The robbers pushed their way into the first-floor residence in the five-story brownstone between Second and First Avenues in Turtle Bay, next door to the Laotian mission to the United Nations. They used twine and phone cords to bind the hands of Mr. Bardwil and two friends who were visiting and stole their wallets, cellphones and watches, according to Mr. Bardwil and the police.
Then, as the armed man stood guard over the victims, in the living room, the second robber paused, put black gloves on his hands and made his way to a safe in the bedroom. His movements were tracked by one of 15 security cameras Mr. Bardwil said he had installed in his house several months ago.
Antique Linen Towel, Red and Ecru Windowpane Check « threads from ...

This is antique, linen toweling. It appears to have a bit of flax linen and possibly some sizing left. It is sewn together into one piece and measures 14 &1/2″ wide and is 75″ long. I’ve shown the seam where it is sewn together. It is an ecru and red windowpane check. Condition is unused and excellent. There is the slightest age darkening on the outer edge. A nice piece of early linen toweling.
