About the Item

Set of Eight Vintage Gucci Equestrian Napkins with Horsebit Motif, Signed, with Original Storage Bag and Authenticity Card Italy, circa 1970s–1980s Dimensions: Each napkin measures 16" square. A rare and collectible set of eight vintage cotton napkins by Gucci, featuring the house’s iconic equestrian horsebit design printed in bold red and green web stripes with gold-toned bridles—hallmarks of the brand's rich saddle-making heritage. Each napkin is signed "GUCCI" within the printed design, and many still retain their original sewn-in Gucci label. The set is accompanied by the original Gucci silk storage bag with logo tag and product care/authenticity cards, underscoring the luxury pedigree. This design reflects the influence of Aldo Gucci, who expanded the maison’s identity during the mid-20th century, introducing the horsebit and web stripe as enduring house codes across accessories, tableware, and décor. Crafted from soft yet durable cotton, these 16" square napkins are elegantly edged with green stitching and present beautifully for formal or equestrian-inspired entertaining. They are gently used, well preserved, and ready to use and enjoy.

Set of Four Gaudy Dutch 'War Bonnet ' Pattern Plates
By Staffordshire
Located in West Palm Beach, FL
Four Gaudy Dutch 'War Bonnet' Pattern Plates 8.25 inches in diameter The 'War Bonnet' pattern was produced between 1810 and 1850 in England, primarily in the Staffordshire region. These plates were made for the American market, where they gained popularity among the Pennsylvania Dutch. The term 'War Bonnet' likely refers to the central design motif, which resembles a Native American war bonnet, reflecting early American cultural influences. A "war bonnet" refers to a traditional headdress worn by some Native American tribes, most notably the Plains Indians such as the Sioux, Cheyenne, and Crow. These headdresses are often made of feathers (typically eagle feathers), beads, and other decorative elements, and they carry deep cultural, spiritual, and symbolic significance. The significance of the War Bonnet Symbol of Honor: War bonnets were worn by respected leaders, warriors, and elders who had earned them through acts of bravery, leadership, or service to their community. Spiritual Importance: The feathers, especially eagle feathers, are considered sacred and represent a connection to the spiritual world. Ceremonial Use: War bonnets were used in various ceremonies, dances, and important cultural events rather than for everyday wear. Status and Achievement: Each feather in a war bonnet was typically earned for a specific act of courage or accomplishment. The 'War Bonnet' pattern features a central design resembling a feathered headdress or floral basket, surrounded by vibrant floral elements. Color Palette: Common colors include cobalt blue, iron red, and green, with occasional yellow highlights. These colors were applied using overglaze enamels. Like other Gaudy Dutch patterns...
