The monogram originated as a royal seal, then was simply used by artists to identify their work.  The Victorian era marked the monogram as a symbol of aristocracy.  Thus embroidering monograms on linens and engraving other household items became a sign of prestige.

Monogrammed bedding is one way to enhance the home and makes a great gift.  Pillow shams, coverlets, accent pillows and fabric headboards can be monogrammed for added luxury.
