This product is unavailable
A set of eight pure linen cocktail napkins, by artist and designer Georges Briard (1917–2005) — a name that has for more than a century been a marker of spectacular and stylish vintage glassware, serveware and other household objects from the Mid-Century Era.Â
These cocktail napkins are from the 1960s, a design titled, Can You Navigate? A graphic pattern showing a sailing ship colored in black and gold on a white ground is surrounded by a black border. Machine stitched hems. The title of the pattern is written in script across the bottom of each napkin. Each napkin shows the Briard signature.
