[Sca-cooks] Period table linens (only slightly OT)

[kingstaste at mindspring.com]

I just loaned out my copy of a CA on Perugia (sp?) linens, which were white
with blue bands of designs woven in on the ends.  They also made napkins and
towels in this style evidently.

My embroidery group did a bit of research into embroidered napkins & found
some in Turkey during period, but save that all of the period linens I have
seen seem to be simply white clothes over tressel tables.

Has anybody came across anything more elaborate, perhaps something like a
colored table runner, or any form of embroidery on anything?

Thanks!
