4868

Linen damask napkins figural chinz Crown mono Princely provenance This is a set of 13 linen damask napkins in a figural Chintz pattern with a hand embroidered red Crown and G monogram circa about 1870-80's, These napkins belonged to George II of the Princely House of Saxe-Meiningen (HH Reigning Duke George II of Saxe-Meiningen and Hildburghausen), they measure 31 by 37 inches, the hems are hand stitched with teensy almost invisible stitches, lovely handwork. The damask pattern shows in the center a group of people next to a pagoda getting into boats on a pond with swans in it, around the edges are more people doing various things, it looks rather Balinese to me. Every time I look at the pattern I see more things I hadn't noticed before. These napkins are fabulous but do have flaws, 4 have hand darns but are in otherwise good condition, 3 are in fair condition with hand darns and some thin spots, 5 are in very good to excellent condition and 1 has a small brown spot but is otherwise excellent, I have washed and pressed them. The linen is of the highest quality as one would expect linens owned by royalty to be, incredible hand and drape! This is a wonderful pattern!
Circa: 1870-80s
Condition: used

Armorial linen damask tablecloth or napkin Coat of arms Princely provenance This is a linen damask napkin (could be used as a small tablecloth) with a hand embroidered Crown and G monogram woven with the coat of arms of George II of the Princely House of Saxe-Meiningen (HH Reigning Duke George II of Saxe-Meiningen and Hildburghausen) circa very early 1900's. This piece measures 32 by 37 inches, the hems are hand stitched with teensy almost invisible stitches, lovely handwork. There is a fabulous damask coat of arms in the center, it shows lions en rampant, eagles, and 6 helmets each with a different representation on it, quite interesting! This napkin is in excellent condition, I have washed and pressed them. The linen is of the highest quality as one would expect linens owned by royalty to be, incredible hand and drape! This would also show beautifully framed! This is a rare piece with this pattern on it.
Circa: early 1900s
Condition: used

4891

3 RARE Turkish cotton sauna towels Crown monogram dated 1905 This is a set of 3 RARE early Turkish cotton sauna towels, one with crown monogram and dated 1905 that belonged to George II of the Princely House of Saxe-Meiningen (HH Reigning Duke George II of Saxe-Meiningen and Hildburghausen). 2 towels measure 44 by 66 inches and the 3rd measures 44 by 42 inches, one of the large ones has a crown monogram with the cipher G and the date 1905, all 3 towels came from the same estate and are the same time period. Early loop towels like this are quite rare as they were very expensive and hard to get back then, its no surprise that these belonged to royalty and were used in his highness's royal sauna. These towels are very thick, soft and luxurious, they have seen a good amount of use, they all have some fraying at the edges and some re-stitched edges, the one with the monogram and the smaller one are otherwise in good condition, the other large towel has a small hole and 2 faint stains, they are all white-white with turkey red bands at the top. Loop towels are everyday items in today's world, but back then only the very rich had them for their private saunas. Few have survived to the present day.
Circa: 1905
Condition: used
Color: white, red
