ملاحظات
At the end of the 18th century embroidery designs began to develop into rigid and heavily stylised borders for towels and napkins. The colours of 18th and 19th century embroideries were originally very bright but many have faded to pleasing pastel shades; often great quantities of metal thread were used. Napkins were mainly used to clean fingers during meals, but were also used as decoration and as covers. Their designs were consistently inventive.

Fiziksel açıklama
Towel or Napkin, cotton embridered with silk in double darning and with metal thread in satin filling in squares and satin stitch. The minor border is not outlined. It has the appearance of a floral meander but in fact consists of two motifs with leaves growing up or down and as they alternate they form an undulating pattern. Each motif has one dark and light pink flower with a metal thread centre and a pair of leaves (in two shades of green) on a silver stem. The motif in which the leaves go up also has a small pointed red petal on its upper left corner. The main border consists of a repeated motif: a large flower with light and dark pink shaded petals and a large green and metal thread centre. a silver stem which grows to one side of the flowers bears two vertical leaves in shades of green. There are smaller green leaves coming from the stems and growing from theflower.
