I would personally leave it as-is. Those types of creases are common and expected. To me, they do not detract from the beauty of the piece.
But if you are hell-bent on reducing the creases, you can try ironing it from the reverse side. I would use low-medium heat, to start. I would also place a thin towel or sheet over the item, so there is a "buffer" inbetween the face of the iron and the piece itself. Don't leave the iron in one place for more than a second, and keep it moving. Do this a tiny bit at a time, as you cannot re-do it, and better safe than sorry. The procedure I described above works amazingly well on vintage pennants that are creased/wrinkled. It's never failed me. It's your call, if you want to try it with this item. I would not attempt it, as the white "base" surface would scare me. We have all seen white handkerchiefs with that browned/discolored look, from being ironed for too long or under too high a heat. That's what I'd be most afraid of... best of luck, whatever you decide upon. Last edited by perezfan; 03-14-2020 at 08:06 PM.

Yes, I think I am going to keep it as is. I don’t feel comfortable touching it.
Thanks for the advise.

What a beauty!
Looks brand new, and those creases are probably from the original mailing. It would certainly look better without them, but I'd want a real expert doing it. If you get it framed with archival tape, I would think a good deal of the creasing would come out with a little stretching.

The pillow case was found in an old blanket chest with other fabric. I imagine it aas in there for a long time.

If you do attempt it, Get someone with a lot of ironing experience to follow the instructions above. I would never, ever, try it myself. Not only do you have something worth several thousand dollars, but that's the nicest one of those I've ever seen and it would be a shame to leave even a small discoloration anywhere on it not to mention the potential for greater disasters.
