Napkin - 62 cm - 73 cm

Early 20th century set of six fine linen napkins, each delicately hand embroidered with the monogram “R.R.” in raised, finely worked thread. The elegant and slightly unusual double-initial likely represents a married couple sharing the same initial, in keeping with traditional dowry customs where the husband’s name appears first. The refined needlework—possibly executed by a skilled embroiderer or convent workshop—stands out clearly against the crisp linen ground. A charming and authentic example of period trousseau linen, combining practicality with understated craftsmanship.
