There's more dirty laundry for the "Linen King."
Millionaire George Bardwil — owner of the country's biggest table-linen company, Bardwil Home — has been charged with possessing an illegal gun in his E. 51st Street apartment.
Bardwil, 60, is already on the hook for allegedly pummeling his beautiful ex-wife, Emiko, 26, last year. Cops are now alleging in the new charge that Bardwil called 911 on Sunday to report an attempted burglary, then showed them surveillance footage of himself pointing the gun in question at the retreating thief.
The gun — a loaded, .40 caliber Sig Sauer — turned out to be unregistered, according to the criminal complaint against him.

Bardwil remains free on a $250,000 bail bond, and is due back in Manhattan Criminal Court on Jan. 11 to learn if he has been indicted on criminal possession of a weapon.
First, though, the bed-sheet magnate is due in court tomorrow on his second degree assault charge, for allegedly throwing Emiko to the ground and bashing her head into the sidewalk as they argued outside the same Turtle Bay apartment in May 2012.
The ex required staples to close a gash to her head, prosecutors say. Bardwil has countered through his lawyer, Michael Bachner, that there was no assault involved.
"This was the second robbery attempt by the same person," Bachner said of Bardwil's brush with both a burglar and the police. "It's an inside job, somebody George knew and a warrant is out for his arrest."
