{HISTORY}

So exquisite in color and composition, this trio of vintage table linens combines delicate Mechlin lace with paper-thin linen in pastel shades of baby blue, peach and mint green. 

Originating in Belgium centuries ago, Mechlin lace features a netting-like background combined with solid designs, often florals or decorative swirls. These table linens, made between the 1930s-1940s, features a unique design of deer and leaves in the lace.

As a result of its delicate nature,  Mechlin lace that has traveled centuries or even decades is oftentimes subject to tears or rips in the netting, but these three are in perfect shape, well taken care of by a collector who appreciated the art of this finely detailed style of needlework. 

Each linen measures 12" inches (length) x 8" inches (width) - a unique, accommodating size that works well as napkins, tray liners, or accent pieces for display. 

So pretty for spring and summer soirees, food photography, and pastel tablescapes, these three bring so much creativity to the kitchen. Pair them with a tray of macarons or petit fours and you have a winesome arrangement of pastel perfection. Include them in the picnic basket and you'll add a little elegance to your rustic outing. Or set them on the tea tray as companions to your best-loved cups. The sky is the limit when it comes to delighting a moment and a meal with these three.
