Monogrammed linens were carefully preserved and handed down from mother to daughter or daughter-in-law, sometimes from grandmothers or aunts.
As you can imagine, various monogram combinations would be proudly displayed in a single household. Even if the monogram bore no resemblance to the current owner's initials, the appearance of an elaborate monogram signified family.
The age of dowries has passed, but the elegance and charm of the monogram remain. Although it is fun to find a monogram with at least one of your initials, you will probably choose the item more for its style and workmanship.
Many interesting monogrammed linens may be found here at Hearts-Desires.
