Selling a beautiful lot of 37 antique napkins made up of 4 individual sets, dating to the Edwardian era (c.1910). These linens feature a mix of hand embroidery, cutwork, drawn threadwork, monogramming, and crocheted lace edges. Napkins are made of soft cotton, typical of early 20th‑century household textiles.
All belonged to family members, then collected by my grandma and passed down through the family.
