Sudpsuez D’Ascoli Timur Napkins (Set of 4)
Trompe L'Oeil Collection
Our Timur Napkin is luxuriously simple with its 100% hand spun, hand woven cotton left natural except for a delicate four-sided border printed and embroidered in jewel colors. Add them to your dinner table to create an elegant setting, whether it be a formal dinner or weekend luncheon.
The D'Ascoli x Trompe L’Oeil collection is inspired by Renzo Mongiardino and the home he created in Milan for the mother of founder Martina Mondadori. The Master adored “trompe l’oeil,” the visual technique of fooling the eye with decorative painting that creates the illusion of different materials. Two themes Mongiardino returned to again and again were Marquetry - inlaid wood veneers, and Pietra Dura - inlaid stones. For Cabana, D’Ascoli has created a sumptuous layering of faux bois marquetry and faux marbre pietra dura effects printed on linen and on hand-spun, hand-woven cotton with hand embroidery.
