At the end of the 18th century embroidery designs began to develop into rigid and heavily stylised borders for towels and napkins. The colours of 18th and 19th century embroideries were originally very bright but many have faded to pleasing pastel shades; often great quantities of metal thread were used. Napkins were mainly used to clean fingers during meals, but were also used as decoration and as covers. Their designs were consistently inventive.

  • Towel or napkin woven with a linen and silk striped warp and with silk weft, and embroidered with silk in double running stitch, variations and combinations, and in musabak stitch.
