Marghab Linens were produced in Madeira, Portugal between 1934-1984 and were considered the finest embroidery crafted at the time. Emile Marghab, Inc. was renowned for its unrelenting pursuit of, and demand for, perfection in both its products and artisans.

Vera Marghab was the driving force behind the imaginative and beautiful designs executed to her standards of perfection. During the company’s reign the exquisite linens were sought after by politicians, movie stars, diplomats and industrialists due to their unmatched quality, exacting standards, and beauty of design.

Today, the term “Marghab” is used as a benchmark for comparing hand embroidered linens.
