Description

The listing, Napkin Bundler has ended.

In the days before paper napkins, people used cloth and they stored they good linen napkins in bundlers or cloth holders. This on have lovely embroidery work that spells out exactly what it's to be used for and it is a coaser material perhaps that the napkins it was meant to hold. In the 30s, of course, everthing nice was covered so it didn't become dust infested, but usually these were just used as an ultra elegant way in which to store the "best" linens in.

Do you know if this is actually from the 30's or if someone has made this recently?

I know the exact provenance of this piece of linen. If belonged to my husband's grandmother and was pass down to his mother, who gave it to me shortly after we were married. They used to keep their wedding silver in it. So no, this wasn't made recently. I believe I said that in the listing. Did you read it??

Something like this was very ordinary during the 30s, but I don't think they made it into the main stream of American after the roaring twenties. You sure don't see that many around, that's for sure. Its great to take a pie or cake to a pot luck, but hard to handle when it's empty.
