An absolutely gorgeous vintage lace crocheted pillow case that you will fall in love with! Recently I was fortunate enough to come across a number of beautiful pillow cases and will be putting them on my site in the near future.
My mother and grandmother crocheted decades ago and I know that this handwork of crocheted lace on this pillow case takes quite a bit of time to do. There are three very intricate 3-1/2" large crocheted diamonds on the scalloped hem of the pillow case along with dainty crocheted work in between. On the back of the pillow case, there are large crocheted trimmed scallops. People just do not do this hand work any more and it is difficult to find pillow cases in this wonderful condition. There is a tag inside the pillow case that says "Lady Pepperell". Just beautiful!
This vintage pillow case is probably from the '50s or '60s when people did this detailed type of work and life was a lot slower and not so hectic. The pillow case measure approximately 20" x 28-3/4" not including the lace hem.
The pillow case will come to you freshly laundered, lightly starched and ironed and it is ready for you to put on your bed. It is in excellent condition and just pristine.
I mix and match my single vintage crocheted lace pillows when I only have one of a kind and it is a very pretty look.
This vintage heirloom hand crocheted pillow cases would make a guest room look beautiful, make a wonderful housewarming gift with another crocheted pillow, create a shabby chic look to a bedroom or a gift to someone who loves vintage linens.

Care Instructions
We examine each item carefully and note any imperfections, but unless an item is said to be new, please don't expect it to be perfect & even some new items have small imperfections. I will always state in the description if there are any imperfections & I never do repairs but leave them to others who are better able to do them than me as that is not my expertise.
Please remember that unless specified all items have been used and will show varying signs of use or wear. We always list the obvious imperfections to the best of our abilities. However, some slight imperfections that will not show or affect wearing or using the item may slip by or not be considered worth mentioning.
Vintage nightgowns & peignoirs may be delicate so I do not wash them in the machine. I wash them in lukewarm water with Woolite or some other mild soap, then rinse & hang dripping wet in the shower.
Since these are vintage items, a bit of extra care needs to be taken with them so they remain beautiful & I definitely would never put a vintage nightgown or a peignoir in the dryer as it would ruin it.
The items are sold as we find them. We do not dry clean, launder, alter or repair vintage clothing and they should be cleaned or washed upon arrival. Please make your selection carefully & check the measurements as there is no return on clothing or other items.
