四块20世纪早期的丝绸和亚麻提花餐巾，带有C.D.的字母缩写。 - 餐巾 - 70 cm - 85 cm

These 4 silk and linen damask napkins are part of a 3 generation "dowry".
这4张由真丝与亚麻提花布制成的餐巾属于三代传承的“嫁妆”。

The couple who I was able to get the entire " trousseaux " from own various properties in both France and Italy.
我所获取整个“嫁妆”的夫妇在法国和意大利各自拥有多处地产。

The children ,great grand and grand children, as is now so often the case, are not in the least
interested in their heritage as it means far too much work to keep it all in excellent condition.
子女、曾孙及孙辈，如今常见的情况一样，并不关心祖产，因为维护保养需要太多工作。

These napkins are part of 22 napkins, but I have decided to split them into sets of six.
这些餐巾原本属于22张中的一部分，但我已决定分成六张一组。

Should you wish to buy more they will be distributed in this auction and the next one in
February.
若您愿意购买更多，它们将在本次拍卖及二月的下一次拍卖中分配。

They are exceptionally very generous in dimension at 70cm x 85cm.
它们尺寸极为宽裕，为70cm × 85cm。

Being silk and linen they have a soft supple luxurious feel.
由真丝与亚麻制成，手感柔软而奢华。

The damask design show large flowers and if I am not mistaken they look like
chrysanthemum ,lily of the valley ,and weeping sun flowers?, other flora, plus an abundance of large leaves.
花纹为提花，显现出大花图案，若我没看错，类似菊花、铃兰、垂泪向日葵等花卉，以及其他植物，外加大量大叶。

The initials C.D . are embroidered in soft and tender relief.
首字母 C.D. 以柔和的浮雕绣在上面。

The napkins are "hand hemmed."
餐巾为“手工下摆边”。

PLEASE NOTE;
请注意；

1 napkin, after throughly checking their condition, had a hole.
经彻底检查后，1张餐巾有一个洞。

We have added a piece of "thermo collant" which will strengthen the hole
and will not come off in the washing.
我们补了一块“热粘合材料”（thermo collant），以加固洞口，洗涤时不会脱落。

The cause of this is hot ash whilst smoking not reaching the ash try in time.
原因是抽烟时热灰未能及时落入烟灰缸。

The fabric itself is in perfect condition.
布料本身状况完好。

The reserve price will reflect this.
底价将反映这一点。
