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 border, silk embroidered with silk in double darning, double running in a line and musabak stitch and with metal thread in fishbone and satin stitch. Six silk ends per selvedge. There is a narrow minor border in which a meandering stem links small pink pomegrates with leaves. The main border consists of a repeated motif: a blue bowl which is decorated with a pink flower in a metallic bowl. A large floral arrangement comes from the blue bowl and sweeps round to hang down its sides. It includes two pink flowers at the top and two downward-pointing blue flowers. In the centre are small bell-like pink flowers.
