It features a slightly ivory white hue, characteristic of antique textiles. The visible side reveals a delicate floral motif embroidered in tone-on-tone thread, depicting a stylized rose accompanied by foliage and small decorative elements. The embroidery work is fine, done by hand or machine, with particular attention paid to the details of the petals and leaves.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe napkin is folded and placed on a dark background, highlighting the transparency and fineness of its weave. The straight border, without apparent scalloping, emphasizes a sober and classic style. The motif occupies a corner of the napkin, in the tradition of embroidered linens from this period, intended to add a touch of elegance to the table or for personal grooming.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA slight stain mark is visible on one of the corners, a sign of past use, without, however, altering the legibility of the motif. The fabric has a smooth and supple texture, suggesting a natural textile (material not specified, visual appearance close to linen or fine cotton), although no mention of material is indicated in the keywords. The whole remains harmonious, with an authentic vintage look.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe geometric pattern in the background of the rose, composed of small squares and dots, recalls the classic embroideries of the 50s, often used for reception or ceremonial napkins. This piece stands out for the balance between the refinement of the floral motif and the simplicity of the composition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe slightly patinated white color and the manual embroidery give the whole a retro charm, typical of antique household linen. No other decorative elements or marks are visible on the presented side.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUsed item, sold as is.
