A very rare collection of antique French Hemp chanvre sheets - homespun or handwoven antique French chanvre or hemp sheet
$130.31
This listing is for one sheet.
Antique hand woven heavy weight hemp sheets, circa mid 1800s.
Vintage homespun hemp or chanvre sheets from rural south west France.
Beautiful texture, ideal for upholstery projects, curtains, table cloth or as wonderful bed linen as originally intended especially in summer as it keeps you wonderfully cool.
Each sheet is utterly unique. To be a true match, they have to come from the same source, hemp harvest, weaver and wear. As a rule families planted a hemp crop only once or twice per generation and made multiple sheets to see them through.
Natural beige/écru color.
These do make beautiful curtains, table cloths and it's great fabric for upholstery, however I use them as sofa throws as they are so large they cover a large 3 seater with plenty of overspill, they look fabulous with hessian sack cushions, and they wash & wash so well, it's an inexpensive way of transforming a tired shabby sofa, and no craft skills required!
This is wonderfully genuine antique hemp that CANNOT be reproduced by modern fabrication methods, and took literally months to make, absolutely archetypel of my region of south west France, where these fabrics were produced and handwoven from homegrown hemp and known locally as 'linge de grand mere' or grandmas linen.
They all carry the signature central seam where they were woven on narrow looms & hand stitched together.
Freshly laundered

To fulfil your order, you must provide me with certain information (which you authorized Etsy to provide to me), such as your name, email address, postal address, payment information, and the details of the product that you’re ordering. You may also choose to provide me with additional personal information (such as telephone number for courier delivery, for example), if you contact me directly.
Why I Need Your Information and How I Use It
I rely on a number of legal bases to collect, use, and share your information, including:
• as needed to provide my services, such as when I use your information to fulfil your order, to settle disputes, or to provide customer support;
• when you have provided your affirmative consent, which you may revoke at any time, such as by signing up for my mailing list;
• if necessary to comply with a legal obligation or court order or in connection with a legal claim, such as retaining information about your purchases if required by tax law; and
• as necessary for the purpose of my legitimate interests, if those legitimate interests are not overridden by your rights or interests, such as 1) providing and improving my services. I use your information to provide the services you requested and in my legitimate interest to improve my services; and 2) Compliance with the Etsy Seller Policy and Terms of Use. I use your information as necessary to comply with my obligations under the Etsy Seller Policy and Terms of Use.
