Object Name |
Linens, Napkin |
Description |
Part of a single set (one linen placemat and two napkins). Delicately woven, the primary color of this first napkin is (mint) green. White squares are sewn / appliqued in various locations, with cutwork around the squares. The overall design and color creates an Art Deco impression. Cutwork or cut work, is a needlework technique in which portions of a textile, typically cotton or linen, are cut away and the resulting "hole" is reinforced and filled with embroidery or needle lace. Cutwork is related to drawn thread work. In drawn thread work, typically only the warp or weft threads are withdrawn (cut and removed), and the remaining threads in the resulting hole are bound in various ways. In other types of cutwork, both warp and weft threads may be drawn. From, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cutwork. |
