An exceptional hand-crafted banquet ensemble from the first half of the 20th century, consisting of a grand linen tablecloth and a complete set of twenty-four coordinating napkins. This set is a masterpiece of traditional European white-work and lace-making.
Historical Context: Produced between 1920 and 1940, such high-grade linen sets were the hallmark of aristocratic and wealthy households. The presence of the hand-embroidered 'MCS' monogram indicates a custom commission, while the use of hand-made bobbin lace identifies it as a luxury item intended for formal celebrations.
Features and Details:
