8 exceptional linen and silk damask napkins in excellent condition. In my time I have seen so many damask designs, but never this magnificent scene of Hydrangeas, leaves and two "love birds". It is almost like a painting. Quite extraordinary. My take is that they have been very little, or maybe even never, used to deck the dining room table. Words fail me to describe the beauty of this damask and I leave it to you to admire them. Look particularly at the damask photos . The napkin is framed with compositions of hydrangea or even Annabels, leaves and held together with beautiful ribbons and bow . The initials are very difficult to determine and could be L.S. or S.L. They are embroidered with interlaced finish and very decoratively achieved. The edges have a "pearl like" finish. Look at the last 2 photos which shows the reverse. PLEASE NOTE: Vintage linen have already known a first life and can therefore have slight traces of the past. We select the items in the best possible way, with love and dedication. Honest descriptions and images gives a real vision of the items. The linen that we offer for sale is not new linen, unless specifically mentioned, it is second-hand and old linen. As such it may have already been washed, used or even worn. In spite of the great care we take during the preparation, small imperfections can and may escape us. They do not in any way call into question the unique and rare character of these wonderful pieces. I present you our French Antique linen unwashed, as taken out of the armoire, unless otherwise described . It is all clean, but plan to give it a wash before use. Please be aware of the above before you bid and buy. Thank you for taking this into account
