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/Napkin, linen embroidered with silk in variations and combinations of double running stitch, and musabak stitch and with metal thread embroidery is worked in double running and slanted satin stitch. There is a narrow border along either end which extends up the side of the main border. It consists of an angular green meander with blossoms alternating in pairs of yellow and pink. The main border consists of four blue vases containing fruit trees, two with yellow fruit and two with pink fruit. Between each vase is a small pointed green bush.
