Antique Irish Linen Damask Napkins & Table Runner | Order of the Bath Set

Description and Details

This exceptional set includes 15 antique Irish linen damask napkins with a matching table runner woven with the medal of the Order of the Bath, a distinguished symbol of British chivalry. Each napkin carries a detailed damask design with the medal of The Order of Bath at the centre, framed by intricate foliate and floral borders. In each corner is a hand embroidered Baronets crown and the letter R for Raglan, indicating provenance linked to the Raglan family, a notable historic lineage. 

The table runner mirrors the motif, with the Order of the Bath medals woven at each end and a crown at the centre, surrounded by the same floral and foliate damask border. All pieces in the set are hand hemmed and remain in excellent condition — a rare survival for items of this age. 

The napkins measure 64 × 84 cm (25.25 × 33 in) and the table runner is 64 × 180 cm (25.5 × 71 in), giving you generous dining or display linens that hold historical and aesthetic value. 

Because of the historic provenance, the hand embroidery and the quality of Irish linen damask, this set is especially suitable for collectors of antique linens, heritage tableware, period interiors and dining displays that celebrate antique textiles. Use it for special occasion table settings, museum display, historic house styling or textile research reference.
