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, cotton embroidered with silk in double darning and double running in a line and with plate in satin stitch. The hem has been rolled and oversewn with metal thread in buttonhole stitch. There is a narrow border, not delineated by lines, in which large and small horizontal curling leaves alternate; the colours are predominantly green and pink and are outlined with metal thread. Above this the main border consists of a repeated floral arrangment. These are linked at their bases by a pair of green leaves and a white/light pink trefoil. The arrangement consists of a blue vase and a pair of green vertical leaves with a large pink flower; these are surrounded by smaller leaves which are alternately green or white. (en)
