Set of 6 Antique Irish Linen Damask Napkins | 53.5 cm Square.

Description and Details

This set of 6 antique Irish linen damask napkins represents a fine example of vintage Irish table linen craftsmanship. Each napkin features a refined damask pattern of carnations around the edges and corners with a striped centre design accented by single carnations. These tone-on-tone damask motifs reflect the skill and heritage associated with Irish linen weaving and damask weaving traditions.

The napkins are made from quality Irish linen fabric, prized for durability, absorbency and a soft lustrous finish once laundered and ironed. Irish linen damask table linens have long been associated with formal dining, heritage entertaining and collectible vintage textiles due to their refined look and reliable performance.

Each napkin in this set measures approximately 53.5 cm square (21 inches), a generous size that suits dinner settings as well as afternoon teas and special occasions. The classic floral damask pattern complements a range of table settings from period interiors to contemporary farmhouse style.

Careful preservation has kept these napkins in excellent vintage condition, ready for use or display. This set is ideal for enthusiasts of vintage Irish linens, collectors of antique textiles, or anyone seeking elegant table linens that combine heritage charm with usable quality.

Materials and Care Tips

Before use:
Iron each napkin while slightly damp on a warm iron setting to bring out the damask pattern and remove creases.

Washing suggestion:
Hand wash gently in cool water with mild linen detergent or machine wash on a gentle cycle at cool to warm temperature. Do not use harsh bleach.

Drying:
Lay flat to dry or tumble dry on low. Avoid over-drying to prevent stiffness.

Ironing:
Press with a warm iron after drying for a crisp finish. Linen responds well to steam.

Storage:
Store flat or folded with acid-free tissue paper to protect the napkins and preserve fibres over time.
