"Old Ships" Sea Monsters Vintage Marghab 17pc Placemat Set for 8
$1,400.00
Here be monsters.
A rare and imaginative Marghab design, “Old Ships” depicts early sailing vessels beset by mythical sea creatures — embroidered entirely by hand in Madeira on fine Irish linen. The detail is extraordinary: raised rigging, curling waves, and fantastical beasts rendered with crisp precision and subtle dimensionality. Each piece is finished with a double hem of caseado bastido, classic to Marghab’s finest works.
Condition is excellent, gently used. Hand laundered, bright and clean, a few specks and smudges, slight fraying at the edges, a few detached connectors, and minor shade variations among the group. Minor, this set looks wonderful.
17 pieces, setting for :
8 placemats, 12 x 17 inches;
8 napkins, 16 x 16.5 inches;
table runner, 11.5 x 35 inches.
