Printed Napkins

Floral and botanical printed napkins

Floral and botanical printed napkins introduce pattern without requiring a fully decorated tablecloth. Magnolias, citrus fruit, cacti, flowers, leaves and seasonal motifs become small graphic compositions beside each place setting.

The collection includes Italian printed napkins for elegant tables as well as more relaxed everyday meals. Their character depends on the fabric, the construction of the design and the table linens with which they are combined.

On a solid linen tablecloth, a printed napkin can become the main decorative element. When paired with matching tablecloths or placemats, it completes the visual language of the collection.

Printed linen napkins made in Italy

Most of the collection consists of printed linen napkins made in Italy. Linen retains its natural texture and characteristic variations, while the print introduces color and motifs inspired by gardens, the Mediterranean landscape and the changing seasons.

Selected styles are made from linen-and-hemp blends, which have a more pronounced texture. The category also includes cotton sateen napkins with a smoother surface and subtle sheen.

Composition, brand, measurements and special treatments vary. Always consult the individual product page before ordering.

Placed designs and continuous prints

Printed napkins are not all constructed in the same way.

Napkins with placed designs feature a composition created specifically for the dimensions of the product. The motif is positioned to form a complete image, as in selected Magnolia designs.

Napkins cut from continuously printed fabric may show slightly different sections of the pattern. The colors and overall style remain coordinated, but two pieces in the same design may not be exact copies.

This variation is not a defect. It results from the point at which each piece is cut from the fabric and gives the finished table a more natural character.

Individual napkins and printed cloth napkin sets

The category includes both individually sold styles and printed cloth napkin sets.

Individual sale allows you to choose the quantity required and, where available, select a particular design variation. Sets of two or four may contain matching motifs, different areas of the same print or coordinated compositions.

Current sizes include approximately:

• 15″ × 15″;
• 18″ × 18″;
• 19″ × 19″.

Always check the number of pieces, dimensions, composition, brand and any fabric treatment on the individual page.

Printed napkins to pair with solid tablecloths

Printed napkins to pair with solid tablecloths allow the pattern to remain the focal point. Choose ivory, natural linen, cream, taupe or grey for a quiet base, or repeat one of the stronger shades found within the design.

With a matching printed tablecloth, coordinated napkins create a richer effect. To soften the overall setting, alternate them with solid color linen napkins.

Possible combinations include:

• floral prints with old rose, raspberry, green or ivory;
• citrus motifs with yellow, clay, green or natural linen;
• botanical patterns with green, taupe and pearl grey;
• Christmas designs with pine green, red, cream or wine;
• geometric prints with simple tableware and an undecorated tablecloth.

A successful table does not require every piece to match. Repeating one or two colors is often enough to create harmony.

Printed Christmas linen napkins

Printed Christmas linen napkins allow a festive table to begin with one carefully chosen detail. Winter magnolias, branches, berries, poinsettias and other seasonal motifs can be placed over a simple tablecloth or paired with matching table linens.

They suit holiday breakfasts, family lunches and Christmas dinners. Individually sold styles allow you to compose the required service freely, while coordinated sets can also make a thoughtful gift for the home.

Care instructions

Care depends on the material, print and any special fabric treatment. Many linen napkins are machine washable, but temperature, drying and ironing requirements must be checked on the individual product page.

To help preserve fabric and print:

• treat stains promptly;
• separate deep colors from pale fabrics;
• avoid bleach unless expressly permitted;
• do not exceed the recommended temperature;
• steam iron linen while slightly damp when appropriate.

Printed napkins should not automatically be considered stain resistant. Only products expressly described as having a protective treatment possess that characteristic.
