Servet van wit linnendamast met gestrooide bloemen en in de hoeken het gevierendeelde wapen Rijckaert-Bartolotti van den Heuvel c. 1660 - 1670

This anonymous damask tablecloth, dating from the mid-17th century, is a fine example of the intricate weaving techniques employed in the Netherlands at the time. Its delicate pattern features a dense arrangement of stylized flowers and leaves, including tulips and carnations, which were popular motifs in the Dutch Golden Age. The tablecloth is further embellished with the Rijckaert-Bartolotti van den Heuvel coat of arms, signifying its likely use in a wealthy household during this period. The intricate design and high-quality linen reflect the aesthetic and social values of this era, where fine textiles and decorative arts were highly valued.
