George Briard Cocktail Napkins, Persian Garden, Gold Paisley – Set of 8 Boxed

About the Item

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. In the original box, from the 1960s, a design titled, Persian Garden. A paisley pattern showing an overall print of stylized Persian inspired flowers and leaves colored in gold on a white ground. The central image is bordered on all sides by a running geometric border also in gold. Machine stitched hems. Each napkin shows the Briard signature. Georges Briard created award-winning designs for items including glasses, trays, coffeepots and dishes in materials like glass, ceramics, metal, wood, and gold-plated serveware. His serveware was especially popular from the 1950s to ’70s. It was produced by companies including Culver, Pfaltzgraff and Mdina Glass and sold at high-end department stores like Neiman Marcus and Bonwit Teller. Georges Briard’s designs were found in the homes of the most fashionable hosts of the mid-century. Today, they are highly prized by collectors. Napkins: 7.25 in. L x 5.5 in. W Box: 7.75 in. L x 6 in.
