About Sferra Linen

August 29, 2008

In 1891, Gennaro Sferra emigrated to the United States and toured the resorts from Maine to Palm Beach selling exquisite Venetian lace cuffs and collars to the wealthy families of the day. Gennaro saw a tremendous demand for the delicate hand embroideries and opened a factory in Venice, Italy in 1905-Factory 5007 San Severo. Traveling twice yearly by steamer, Gennaro created and developed a collection of the most unique linens, hand made laces and embroideries.

Throughout the 1940s and 1950s, Sferras two sons, Enrico and Albert, expanded the collection to include the most luxurious linens Europe had to offer; Irelands finest linen double damask, Frances intricate Alencon Laces, Swiss embroideries from the Portuguese island of Madeira. Providing the linens and furnishings for society homes, heads of state and the Vatican, the Sferra brothers created a premier luxury linen collection renowned for excellence in quality and graceful design.
