PeterB:
What can people tell about the napkin?
Are that rare or common? Some idea about price, because we perhaps will sell them?!

PeterB:
And a other napkin

   I have seen examples of such napkins some time earlier.  I have no idea if they are being reproduced.  Apparently they were made for the Imperial Family, utilizing the cypher/monogram of the owner/s in the corners.  The ones that I have seen bore the cypher of the Emperor Nicholas II and (depending on authenticity/provenance, condition, etc.) were moderate in price.   I cannot quite determine the cyphers of these two that you illustrate. The last one (posted at 10:26:59) APPEARS to be the cypher of the Emperor NII. The other APPEARS to be "OA" ?  (The Grand Duchess Olga Alexandrovna ?)  Regards,  AP.

PeterB:
After have look around at the internet, so these was of Grand Duchess Olga Nikolaevna and her father NII...What I can tell so all is original - not reproductions! Came from a noble family there had a fairly close relationship with the Tsar family.
In same collections of the family was these two picture with frames....

In "Nicholas II: The Imperial Family" by Abris Publishers, an Olga Nikolaevna napkin is pictured (page 72). The napkin is described as coming from the dowry of Grand Duchess Olga Nikoaevna.
