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 embroidered with silk in musabak and double running variations and combinations, and with metal thread in double running combinations and double darning on the diagonal. One side has been cut and hemmed. There is a narrow minor border with a blue ground on which a fine meander links pairs of red or white blossoms. Standing on this border is a series of archs or niches formed by decorated columns which join at the top with blue convoluted, coral-like shapes. within the arch theground is brown with a pink rose bush with six open flowers and five buds on green stems. The ground is also brown between the arches and it contains a narrow branching stem with five white/light blue star-like flowers.
