Servet met bloemen en slingers c. 1800 - 1810

This anonymous, white linen napkin, "Servet met bloemen en slingers," is a classic example of damask weaving, a technique that creates intricate patterns by using interlacing threads of different colors. Dating back to the early 19th century, the napkin showcases a delicate floral design. Its delicate patterns, likely a reflection of Neoclassical style, hint at the textile's original use in a refined household setting. The faded cream color of the linen suggests its age and likely use over time.
