AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

This lot consists of 6 large napkins and dish towels, measuring 65 x 65 cm, characteristic of high-quality household linen from the 1960s. These pieces are made from a métis cloth, a noble blend of linen and cotton, offering both the durability of linen and the softness of cotton.
Design and embroidery details
The visual is understated and elegant, enhanced by fine red stripes that frame each piece. The central element of this lot lies in the personalization work:
• Each piece bears the initials CC, embroidered with care.
• The embroidery is done by hand in cross-stitch with a bright red cotton thread.
• The relief and regularity of the stitches testify to traditional artisanal craftsmanship.
State of conservation
The ensemble is in excellent condition. The fabric has retained its luster and its original whiteness. The quality of the metis fabric ensures great durability and easy maintenance for daily use or for special occasions.
