Beschreibung:

A group of linen damask cloths and napkins, Northern Europe 19th century including twenty-four large cloths, with fern designs, and quantity with various birds and flowers, and one 'chinoiserie' style cloth, together with a mixed collection of smaller cloths and napkins, including thirty-two rectangular plain pulled work edged napkins, some worked with whitework 'CC' or crowned 'CC' monogram (illustrated) (86) Most of the cloths have elaborate border designs and many have complimentary medallion/medallions in the main field, with space around. Very few have a pattern across the whole cloth. The descriptions below are for guidance as to the theme of the design, and not full descriptions. There is a small group of napkins with this lot. However they do not match any of the main cloths listed, and the condition does vary. Many of the cloths have embroidered white-work cyphers including crowned interlocking `C’s (so CC) or crowned CH, and a few have both. Many of the cloths have laundry marks – which are either embroidered in black or red, and some are stitched woven tape. (Some have later extra red laundry numbers and initials in corner, just simply stitched in long stitch for ease in corners).
