Description from the seller

Lot of 10 napkins in white linen. Ancient French napkins from the late 19th / early 20th century in damask linen with good-quality satin bands, apart from a few worn by use, large, for lunch or dinner, with initials "JK" hand-embroidered and, by their white color, they match any type of crockery and table linens. Raised monogram in a circle, at the center of each napkin. In close-up you can read 2 letters, sometimes a third small letter in the middle. It was the tradition: every family embroidered its initials on all its household linens.

Because of their composition, they can be machine-washed frequently without deteriorating.

Napkins. Ten in total, 68 x 61 cm. This is the classic size.

Condition: good for their age apart from those with stains and small tears.
Ideal for a table, a house in Provence, or an antique collection.
