Gold & Brown Checked Linen
In the 18th century, the term “checked” referred to woven or printed patterns that intersected at right angles, in order to create squares. Checked linens, such as this Gold & Brown Checked Linen, were used for a variety of garments, such as aprons, shirts, children’s clothing, trousers and linings, and household items such as toweling, bed hangings and chair coverings. Descriptions of self-liberated individuals and other contemporary writings mention other garments, such as a "cross bar gown" or check shortgown or jacket.
