Title
Heritage Linens -19th and early 20th Century Antique Linens
Description
H eritage Linens has one of the finest collections of antique linens found today. It was during a lengthy stay in England that Joy Klein first became interested in antique linens. She visited many of the stately homes and found herself drawn to the beauty and romance of these exquisite pieces. She began to haunt antique shops, estate sales and auction houses in her quest for vintage linens. She has assembled an incredible collection, including linens formerly owned by the Duke and Duchess of Windsor. These were purchased at Sotheby's in 1998, during the famous auction of their possessions.
Joy Klein's passion for collecting never abated and in 1987 the decision to become a dealer was born. Working by appointment only, as well as having an unlisted phone number, she nevertheless developed a strong following, including many celebrities, one of whom, Barbara Taylor Bradford, has written a letter of recommendation that can be viewed on this website.
In addition, both Gourmet Magazine and Colonial Homes have requested and used her linens for photo shoots in their publications. Joan Hamburg on WOR Radio in New York has also highly recommended this collection.
