These are two sets of 3 damask linen napkins with the same F.D. initials ,but each 3 in a different interpretation of the initial F.D. This often happened that the well to do French Bourgeoisie families had several sets of napkins ordered with different background of damask, but also with different initials. Thus a kind of "mix and match" as we would call it these days. But also just in case a few of the napkins would have to be abandoned due to wear and tear they could include others with the same initials. The napkins would be daily used and not just for the weekend. The dining room table would always be immaculately decked and luncheon and dinner would at all times be a central occasion with lots of discussion going on. The damask on both of the three napkins has been so well "echoed" and full of floral decoration. The second set of the napkins measure 85cm x 75cm.
