Vintage hand-embroidered linen tablecloth set from the Azores Islands, Portugal, featuring a beautifully coordinated tablecloth and eight matching embroidered napkins. The set measures approximately 61\" x 102\", making it a generous size for a dining table or display.
The tablecloth features a symmetrical embroidered border with corner motifs, while the eight matching napkins repeat the embroidery. The work is reminiscent of classic Madeira embroidery, although this set is identified as having been made in the Azores.
The linen and embroidery are in excellent overall condition, with no holes, tears, or other damage noted. The pieces appear to be unwashed and retain a fresh, crisp quality. Two of the napkins retain their original importer tags from LG&S, and each napkin has a \"100% Linen\" sticker.
The importer tags read: \"Real hand embroidery designed and embroidered in the Azores Islands Portugal.\"
There are, however, light age-related stains throughout the set, visible upon close inspection. These are shown in the photographs. There is also light age toning that is too faint to show clearly in the photos. Please examine all photographs carefully, as they form part of the description.
The tablecloth and napkins display beautifully, with the detailed hand embroidery and coordinated design making this an especially attractive vintage Portuguese linen set.
The photos were taken in both natural (window-adjacent) and indoor lighting. The linen may appear slightly darker in photographs taken without natural light; the true color is off-white.
