6 Early XXth Century hand embroidered linen napkins with A.B

Generous Damask Linen Napkins with Hand-Embroidered Petit Point Initials A handsome set of six generous damask linen napkins, offering a combination of sturdy linen, a distinctive woven pattern and delicate hand embroidery with the initials A.B..
