| 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! |
