A set of seven vintage white luncheon napkins with beautifully raised floral hand embroidery, delicate appliqué details, and shaped inner hem edges.

HIGHLIGHTS
• Seven matching vintage luncheon napkins — six plus one spare
• White-on-white floral hand-embroidery
• Raised satin stitching
• Reverse-side appliqué work
• Fine, crisp linen fabric
• Excellent vintage condition

MEASUREMENTS
Each napkin: 16" long x 15-3/4" wide
Set weight: 7 oz (0.44 lb)

CONDITION
Excellent vintage condition, with no stains, holes, or loose threads noted. The fabric has been freshly pressed and retains some fine wrinkling.

ABOUT THIS PIECE
The hand-embroidery on these napkins has wonderful dimension. Closely worked satin stitches give the flowers a raised surface, while the leaf-shaped incorporate a reverse-side appliqué technique. The embroidered floral border has a beautifully shaped inner edge, while the outer hems are straight.

The finely woven white fabric is substantial yet delicate, with a crisp hand, a slight sheen, and subtle irregularities in the weave. I believe it to be a fine linen.

INSPIRATION
These napkins would elevate a luncheon or afternoon tea table, especially paired with a collection of mismatched floral china. I like them so much I'd be tempted to bring them out for an everyday meal, even without guests!

Styling props shown in photos are not included. Listing is for the set of seven napkins only.

BEFORE YOU PURCHASE

Vintage Linens
Authentic vintage and antique linens naturally show age-related character. Any notable condition details are included in the description and shown in the photos. Please review the description and photos carefully.

Cleaned, Pressed & Ready to Enjoy
Every vintage linen in my shop is gently soaked, laundered, and carefully pressed before it’s offered for sale.

Packed with Care
Your linen will be neatly folded and tied with soft grosgrain ribbon. Care instructions are included for future laundering, and the linen is enclosed in a protective bag to keep it clean and dry during shipping.

Combined Shipping
If your order includes more than one item, I'll always look for the safest and most economical way to pack it. When shipping multiple items together reduces the shipping cost, I'll automatically refund the difference after purchasing your shipping label. No request is needed.
