Description from the seller

8 superb Anemone flower napkins.
Anemone is a genus of flowering plants in the buttercup family Ranunculaceae.
Plants of the genus are commonly called windflowers.
They are native to the temperate and sub tropical regions.
As Aphrodite mourned her lost love, the tears that fell to the ground bloomed into
the beautiful Anemone flower.
Hence their significance in many cultures as a symbol of death and forsaken love.
The Anemone has always been a very popular and faithful flower for the French
It has been symbolised so often in still live paintings and other forms of art.
These napkins have been hand embroidered and what is so fascinating that none of
the napkins is the same. They all have slight different shades and the detail is
superb and embroidered in silk thread.
