About this work

Linen damask napkin. Oval fields with inward-pointing pointed scalloped edges carry a bouquet of distorted pomegranates, emerging from a flattened spherical form with bracts. Fillings of netting. Rosettes at the junction points, loose flower branches in the curves. Two narrow borders, the inner one with a double row of strung octagons with a star motif, the outer one with a running flower vine. Surrounded by a T-border.
