Vingerdoek van linnendamast met motief Naaldenveld, dessin 607 c. 1900 - 1925

This linen damask napkin, designed by Chris Lebeau, showcases the artistic movement of Art Nouveau, a style popular in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The delicate "Naaldenveld" design, meaning "needle field," features a repeating motif of stylized floral and geometric patterns, characteristic of Lebeau's work. This piece, currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, exemplifies Lebeau's talent in applying Art Nouveau aesthetics to everyday objects, elevating the simple act of dining into an artful experience.
