Description from the seller
Extraordinary set of 11 table napkins (large banquet napkins). Originating from an authentic Italian tableware from the mid-20th century (1950s/1960s), these pieces represent the pinnacle of household textile craftsmanship of the era.
Made in very fine damask cotton, they feature jacquard weaving of the highest quality: the matte and shiny finish of the fabric creates an enchanting play of light, highlighting the rich, detailed floral patterns and cherry blossom branches that decorate the surface. Each piece is finished along the entire perimeter with a delicate, fine open-work edge executed with extreme precision.
With their generous size of 54x50 cm, they are perfect to dress a formal, classy dining table, to be used as refined placemats, or to enrich a collection of antique and exclusive textiles.
Technical Details & Measurements (11 Pieces):
Origin: Italy (artisan tableware craftsmanship).
Era: 1950s / 1960s.
Material: Fine Cotton Damask (glossy/sateen feel).
Color: Ivory White / Warm natural cream.
Finish: Perimeter open-work edge.
Dimensions: 54 x 50 cm each.
Condition:
The lot is in perfect condition. The fabrics are incredibly sound, sturdy, and retain their original soft sheen and silky texture.

As period pieces, they may only display very slight signs or spots due to time, easily removable.
Please browse the photo gallery to appreciate the damask’s brilliance and the precision of the open-work edge.
