Featured Sets From Marshall Fields & Neiman Marcus

Have a entire trunk full of this kind of stuff. At least 50 years old. I've had it for the last 35 years. Handwritten note on box says "White organdy tea cloth embossed in green". Table cloth and 14 napkins. The cocktail napkins came in the NM box.
These things are nice but it seems there is no real market for them. Not too sure what to do with it all. Maybe sell it as a couple lots. Do people even use cocktail & cloth dinner napkins anymore?

 

You can check eBay completed listings. I would think there would be special interest in those with the golf motif. None are labelled? The coat of arms, by way, is that of the Medici family. I suspect that means the napkins are of Italian origin.

Heavens! They had enough for a convention, let alone a tea party.

 

Lovely and well preserved.

 

What a bittersweet reminder of times gone by . Imagine how lovely a luncheon table was with all those pretty linens. I especially like the chickens.
