Vintage "True" Double Damask Pure Irish Linen Dinner Napkins - Set of 6 (New Old Stock / Deadstock)
Provenance & Storage History:
This exquisite vintage linen set was safely sourced from a pristine, high-end estate sale in the exclusive community of Los Altos, California. They were stored carefully inside a dark, temperature-stable cedar wardrobe wardrobe for decades, which completely protected them from damp environments, light degradation, moths, and musty odors. They carry no unpleasant storage smells and are perfectly clean.
Condition Details:
• Status: Pristine, untouched New Old Stock (NOS) / Deadstock
Note on Vintage Storage: The single display napkin features one faint, minor storage spot roughly the size of a penny (clearly documented in the photos next to a coin for scale). This is a natural result of long-term storage and is highly likely to lift completely with a gentle soak, should the buyer choose to launder them for use.
• Presentation: This is a complete set of 6 matching dinner napkins. Following high-end vintage merchandising traditions, 5 napkins remain neatly bundle-tied with their original pale blue display ribbon and "All Linen Made in Ireland" label stamp. The 6th napkin was used as the department store's single display piece, retaining the original green Hudson's Bay Company paper tags and the official gold-embossed "Pure Irish Linen Double Damask" paper foil sticker intact.
• Care Note: These napkins are explicitly being sold unwashed and unlaundered to maintain their historical collectible value, crisp factory weave sizing, original high-gloss damask sheen, and intact retail paper labels.
