<p>[QUOTE=&quot;artsfarm, post: 194223, member: 3418&quot;]Very, very beautiful collection! One thing I would suggest is to try drying the tablecloth by rolling up in a couple of clean white towels to get the majority of the water out, as it will weigh a ton and can be damaged when wet. Fold it in half if needed, roll up and then squeeze the roll from one end to the other. Change the towels out as many times as necessary, until just damp. When ironing linen, put a piece of white sheet between the fabric and the iron to avoid a shine. </p><p>When cleaning antique linens, &#039;less is more&#039; , so all that might be needed is swishing them around in mild soap and water, rinse VERY thoroughly and then treat spots of needed. </p><p><br /></p><p>I think at this time of year, a complete set that old and in that good condition would sell for at least $100 on Etsy. eBay etc. I sold lots of linens in the past at both, and also on Artfire. A set of 12 Irish linen napkins depicting the &quot;Elgin Marbles&quot; (Greek statuary stolen from the Parthenon and now in the British Museum--fascinating story) sold for over $200.</p><p><br /></p><p>Also, for stains on white fabric, there&#039;s a product called DiDi7 that is really great. It&#039;s only for white pieces, and will remove color from embroidery, etc but you won&#039;t have that problem. You can get it on Amazon, or wherever they sell &#039;As Seen on TV&#039; products. It&#039;s one of (few) &#039;miracle&#039; products that actually does what the ads say <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/smile.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":)" unselectable="on" /></p><p><a href="https://www.amazon.com/Didi-Seven-Ultra-Universal-Remover/dp/B001G7UAME" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.amazon.com/Didi-Seven-Ultra-Universal-Remover/dp/B001G7UAME" rel="nofollow">https://www.amazon.com/Didi-Seven-Ultra-Universal-Remover/dp/B001G7UAME</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
