Napkin (England)

This is a Napkin. It was designed by Walter Crane. It is dated 1900–10 and we acquired it in 1990. Its medium is linen and its technique is 7&1 satin damask. It is a part of the Textiles department.

It is credited Museum purchase from Eleanor G. Hewitt and Sarah Cooper Hewitt Funds.

A square white linen napkin with a design in light blue. A border of stylized lollipop-shaped trees and heart-shaped flowers is framed by wavy streams with small swimming fish. Curving, ornamental lines create small panels between the trees. The tops of the trees point in toward the central panel, where smaller trees anchored in sinuous lines are arranged in alternate rows with wavy spade-leaved plants. A white monogram is stitched in the upper right corner of the central panel.
