Up for sale is an exquisite, heirloom-quality set of four (4) vintage estate dinner napkins. Featuring a striking, grand-scale tulip and floral pattern, these pieces are exceptional examples of mid-century heritage weaving.
### KEY FEATURES & COLLECTOR DETAILS:
* **Premium Double Damask Weave:** These napkins possess the substantial, dense, and supple "leathery" hand characteristic of true double damask. The glossy satin-woven tulips catch the light beautifully against the matte background.
* **Intricate "Speckled" Seeded Ground:** The negative space is masterfully woven with a geometric, birdseye/seeded background texture. This rare, high-relief detailing makes the floral pattern pop visually and confirms premium vintage craftsmanship.
* **True Loom Selvedge Edges:** Woven on traditional narrow looms, these napkins feature authentic woven selvedges on two sides with finely hemmed finishing on the ends.
* **Grand Banquet Scale:** Measuring a generous 23.5 inches by 23.5 inches, these are substantial, formal dinner-scale napkins that are highly sought after by collectors.
### CONDITION:
