Butterflies Vintage Madeira 16pc Placemat Set for 8

A striking vintage placemat and napkin set featuring sculptural butterfly shapes, hand embroidered in Madeira. The wings combine sheer organdy with linen panels and delicate appliqué work, creating a light, dimensional design that feels especially fresh for spring.

A playful design, beautifully worked and instantly eye-catching.

Condition is very good, never used, though not quite perfect. Hand laundered, clean and bright. In certain lighting we note marked tonal variation in the pale yellow linen ground, a feature of the original dye process rather than later discoloration. On the table, the set presents wonderfully.

Setting for 8;
8 placemats, 14 x 20 inches;
8 napkins, 18 x 18 inches.
