We get daily Antique French linen arriving and every item has to be checked and scrutinised for faults such as holes, tears, darning, rust stains etc.etc. Large quantities have to be abandoned, due to serious wear and tear. We are then left with " siblings" and these have to be sorted into two categories. Those who have medium quality in damask design , the way the initials are choreographed and general appearance. Most of them fall into this category as shown. They all have different initials and it is fun to match the initials to the persons invited. And then we have napkins which stand out significantly from others with superb damask design, beautiful initials and generally having a superior appearance. And these are the 6 napkins which fall into thIs category. Please see the above lot which is also in this auction. All of the 6 napkins have slight different dimensions.
