About this work
Linen damask napkin with fleurs de lys. Swirling bands form elongated fields vertically. The bands consist of straight and round sections filled with small fleurs de lys; at the junctions a swirling branch with lilies. The border, outlined only on the outside with fine zigzag edges and scrollwork with grid filling, displays densely packed floral bouquets, directed from the corners toward the center and emerging from a support bearing a fleur de lys. Surrounding: block border.
