Rare and fabulous.
Clam shells, starfish and lengths of seaweed—hand embroidered in exquisite French Beauvais stitch. Superb work on very fine linen, with gorgeous textures and intricate detail. No labels, but unmistakably French—almost certainly vintage D. Porthault.
Excellent condition, gently used. Hand laundered, clean and bright.
Setting for 8:8 napkins, 15.5 x 16 inches (shells on four napkins, starfish on the other four).
