Vintage 2 Hand-Embroidered Cream Linen Napkins

Vintage hand-embroidered cream color linen napkin, featuring traditional whitework embroidery with integrated eyelet openwork (cutwork). It showcasing a classic floral and ribbon scroll design done in whitework—white thread stitched meticulously onto a white ground. The centers of the floral shapes and geometric segments feature small eyelets where the fabric was pierced and bound with satin stitches. The bottom border features a row of pulled-thread or ladder stitch hemstitching, which is a hallmark of fine quality antique and vintage table linens. It is crafted from woven natural flax linen, giving it a crisp, high-luster texture that drapes tightly over edges. This specific type of fine figural eyelet work is highly characteristic of mid-20th-century Madeira linens or vintage Italian/French trousseau embroidery, typically dating from the 1930s to the 1950s. it0002 NO Flaws L,W 21” X 14”
