Vintage Linens -- One Of A Kind |
|
Now here’s a tip if you’re really into collecting. A good way to
determine the age of a cloth is to take a look at the subject matter
printed or dyed into the cloth itself. In this case, we can tell
that this particular cloth was created in the 1940's or 50's when
charcoal was still sold in cloth bags.
Another word of advice for such a unique cloth is to have fun while
selecting napkins, because chances are you’re not going to find
an entire matching set. Don’t be afraid to use different napkins
to bring the numbers in your set from say four to eight, to even
sixteen for that matter. Just pick the colours from your table cloth
and let your imagination be your guide.
