Vingerdoek van linnendamast met dessin Marguerite c. 1904

This linen damask napkin, designed by Dutch artist Cornelis van der Sluys around 1904, features a delicate floral motif known as "Marguerite." The design showcases a symmetrical arrangement of stylized flowers, with white, raised details against a soft, gray background. The overall effect is one of elegance and understated beauty, characteristic of the Art Nouveau style prevalent during this period. The napkin, measuring 42 cm in length and 40 cm in width, would have been a fashionable addition to a table setting in the early 20th century.
