This is a superb set of 12 late 19th century French linen damask dinner napkins. Circa 1870-1890. The napkins have a woven stylized Art Nouveau pattern of geometric & foliate motifs with French fleur de lis. The fleur de lis is a stylized design of a iris flower. The fleur de lis is particularly associated with the French monarchy. Each napkin has a R monogram. There were made as a gift as a bridal trousseau. The linen damask is very silky. These are close to lapkin size 22" x 23". These serviettes are in great condition for their age.
