These are 8 silk and linen damask napkins. 6 of them have the initials L.J. I think, but difficult to establish due to the intricate and interlaced embroidery. 2 napkins have been added, have the same damask design ,but have not been embroidered. This in the early 20th Century was nothing unusual as most of the linen was made for marriages and often the parents, siblings and embroiderers ran out of time. The centre of the napkins has scatterings of sprigs with "field flora" such as poppies and wheat sheaves. The napkin is framed with two platted lines with flora attached. The tissue silk and linen is very supple and fine to the touch. It is a particularly very beautiful napkin. Please read the contents of the article herewith. PLEASE NOTE. 3 napkins have had "tiny holes" and have been covered with an "auto collant". Please consult last 3 photos. It is hardly noticeable and does not do off from the beauty of the napkins. 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
