It means a proper dinner party — the kind where the table is laid properly, where the cloth and the mats and the glasses all signal that someone thought about it. These placemats are the right choice for that table.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEcru linen, softened to the particular warmth that only comes with age, each one carrying a border of hand-embroidered scrollwork in a tone-on-tone beige thread. The design is Italian in character — flowing, confident curves, small cutwork apertures worked into the scroll at intervals, all finished with drawn thread hems that pull the entire edge into a fine, precise border. Tone-on-tone embroidery of this kind requires more skill than coloured work: there's no contrast to carry the eye, so the quality of the stitch has to do all the work. It does.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eExcellent vintage condition throughout — clean, no pulls, no fading, the cutwork intact. For eight pieces of this age to survive in this condition together is genuinely unusual.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePlease note:\u003c\/strong\u003e A one-of-a-kind vintage set.
