Notlar
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, linen embroidered with silk in double darning on the diagonal and satin stitch, and with metal thread in double darning on the diagonal, fishbone and counted satin stitch. The borders are worked predominantly in metal thread which forms a narrow band along the upper and lower edge. Each border contains three motifs in which six leaves (five metal thread and one pink silk) branch from one side of a vertical stem; small leaves are worked in blue silk.
