Servet van linnendamast met een wapen c. 1867

This linen damask tablecloth, created by the Rath brothers in 1867, features an intricate design of stylized birds, animals, and floral motifs woven into the fabric. The damask technique, where the design is created through variations in the weave, produces a subtle yet elegant pattern. The tablecloth's large size (116.5 cm x 86.5 cm) suggests its intended use for formal dining occasions. The repetition of motifs creates a sense of rhythm and symmetry, showcasing the skill of the weavers.
