Garden Linen Napkin Set of 4

Crafted in Central Portugal during the 1960s, this set of linen napkins reflects the quiet refinement of traditional embroidery. Subtle scalloped edges are delicately hand-finished, while tonal floral motifs emerge through ponto cheio and ponto sombra (shadow work) — where layered stitches and airy mesh gently define petals and leaves with understated dimension.

A soft dialogue between texture and technique, these napkins embody the decorative traditions of mid-century Portugal, where beauty resides in nuance and restraint.

This is a vintage deadstock set, never used and preserved in excellent condition — offering timeless elegance with the care and craftsmanship of another era.
