Really a nice find! A very large matching set of 16 vintage figural lace cocktail
napkins. They appear to be unused, retain original tags and remain in the original
box.
The white pure linen napkins are embellished with fancy drawnwork and fine figural
lace depicting four leaf clovers, the traditional Irish, but widely acknowledged
symbol for good luck and good fortune.
The napkins or mats are in exceptionally nice vintage estate condition. A number
have the original gold and white foil tags affixed reading: Made In Ireland All Linen.
Eight remain wrapped with ribbons, while the other eight, although also appearing
unused, are not. Careful inspection revealed no rips, tears, breaks, holes, snags,
etc., to either linen centers or lace. We did find a few very small, pale/light
discolorations here and there, which are storage related from years of contact with
the box, however these will disappear with first wash. Normally we launder all linens,
except when article is unused, with original tags present, as in this case.
A very nice large set of sixteen high quality vintage linen napkins, made in Ireland
and embellished with fine shamrock lace.
