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/Napkin, cotton embroidered with silk in double darning and double running in a line and with metal thread in fishbone stitch and plate in satin stitch. The rolled hem is worked with metal thread in buttonhole stitch and there is a line of aligned slanting stitch above it. The border contains a repeated motif: a horizontal S-shaped floral spray with a dominant pink flower with spiky petals outlined in dark thread.
