ABOUT THIS PIECE
Each napkin is embroidered with a stylized flower peeking out from behind a spray of three pointed leaves. The design combines satin and stem stitching, with a small openwork center. The hand embroidery is very neatly executed with only small variations in the stitching. The openwork hemstitching creates a delicate border and the cotton fabric has a pleasing weight with a soft finish.
INSPIRATION
The cotton fabric and understated decoration make them lovely for tea, dessert, or a small luncheon. The white embroidery works beautifully with patterned china, and a matching set of six is useful for entertaining.
Styling props shown in photos are not included. Listing is for the set of six napkins only.
