Product Insights

Simons Maison’s Birds Tapestry Napkin brings William Morris’s 1883 Strawberry Thief design to the table as an individually sold 18-inch piece ($7.50 each, not a set), with a dark, moody print that buyers pair with the matching tablecloth, dark linens, and most dishware. The core promise is decorative, easy-care durability: machine-washable at 30–40°C in a laundry bag, quick-drying, no ironing needed (low heat only), colors that survive years of washing, and fresh red-wine or oil stains that rinse out. The main tradeoffs stem from its polyester construction and one-sided printing: the fabric’s slick finish can slide off laps, its hand feel divides buyers (stiff and waxy to some, weighty and drapey to others), and the pattern’s white underside shows at corners, with possible off-center placement, edge fraying after the first wash, and colorway variation between pieces under the “Assorted” tag. Proven for everyday meals, holiday tables, vacation-rental laundering, and collector use, it is a moody, single-napkin styling accent—beautiful as a visual statement, but with buyer-noted compromises in texture, consistency, and lap performance.

Verified claims

Design
William Morris's 1883 Strawberry Thief design, sketched from garden thrushes.
Table styling
Buyers style this dark, moody print with the matching tablecloth on dark linens.
One-sided print
Pattern is printed on only one side, revealing a white underside at table corners.
Fabric feel
Polyester hand divides buyers: some find it stiff, waxy and shiny; others praise its weight and drape.
Lap performance
The napkin slides off laps due to fabric slickness, forcing buyers to tuck it into waistbands.
Stain release
Wine and oil bead on the slick finish; fresh spills wash out, set-in oil needs a stain stick or dish soap.
Ironing
The fabric needs no ironing; pressing must stay low since polyester melts below cotton.
Wash durability
Colors don't fade after years of washing, and fresh red-wine or oil stains wash out.
Easy care
Machine-washable, no-iron, dries in about a third of cotton's time; if pressed, low heat only.
Edge fraying
Some napkins show edge fraying after first wash, requiring thread trimming.
Washing
Wash at 30–40°C in a microfibre-catching laundry bag.
Units per order
Each order contains one 18-inch napkin at $7.50, not a set.
Multi-unit consistency
All units share the same William Morris motif, but colorway can vary between pieces.
Assorted
'Assorted' is a colourway tag, not a pattern mix — every napkin shares the same bird-and-foliage motif, but tones may vary.
Sold individually
Each order contains one napkin, not a set.
Palette compatibility
The moody Assorted tones complement most dishware and stand out on black or navy table linens.
Set building
Sold individually under the Assorted colour option; the motif is the same but colouring can vary between pieces.
Pattern centering
Some napkins have off-center pattern placement that disrupts symmetry.
Gifting
Sold as one 18-inch napkin with a beautiful, one-sided print on stiff shiny fabric — a gift version was returned.
Proven uses
Buyers report everyday meals, holiday tables, vacation-rental laundering, and collector use.
Pairing versatility
Coordinates with matching tablecloth, dark linens, and most dishware for versatile styling.

Wayne B.

Good quality

Shiny/polyester feel - returned

Hailey M.

Really beautiful print but the material felt shiny and cheap and the print was one sided. Was supposed to be a gift but I knew I wouldn't want to use these myself so I returned.

Lovely

Gail J.

Quality and look

Lorraine C.

Tablecloth and napkins are beautiful. They have a European look.

napkins

Thomas K.

They look perfect on the table with the matching tablecloth.

Very nice napkin

Neil H.

Very nice napkin

loved the pattern but not

Sarah F.

loved the pattern but not crazy about the fabric.

Pretty, but poor quality

Sharon W.

I bought two sizes of table cloths and matching napkins. They were pretty, but when I washed them they all frayed. I had to trim off the frayed threads. Hopefully they won’t fray again.

Love this pattern…I’m an Arts & Crafts period fan

Christine A.

These will be lovely with the tablecloth I previously purchased from Simons - they wash well and don’t fade.

Beautiful but slippery

Patricia S.

The pattern is lovely and goes with many of my dishes and placemats, but the napkin will not stay put, and its slipperiness makes me doubt its absorbency. A toss-up purchase . . . looks vs function.

Beautiful colors but the fabric

Elisabeth S.

Beautiful colors but the fabric is stiff & waxy. The napkins are made of the same material as the matching tablecloth (which I love). Not what I wanted so I returned them.

Tant attendues et fière de les avoir! ❤️

Edith F.

Excellente qualité et un beau motif! Wow!!

Love the pattern and colours but

Karla B.

I love the pattern of the print however it’s only on one side. The reverse side is bright white.

Lovely

Carolyn M.

The tablecloth and napkins were exactly what I viewed on the website. Very quick delivery.

Great Design

Isabel K.

Wonderful grouping of products perfect for entertaining. Over the years I have collected different items and area always thrilled to see new arrivals.

Lovely set

Barbara H.

The pattern is beautiful and I love how easy-care the fabric is. The only issue is that the napkins slide off your lap. Solution - tuck a corner in your waistband.

belle

elles sont très belles

Stylish napkins

Elaine J.

Easy to wash and no ironing required. Adds a touch of flair to any table setting.

Strawberry thief tapestry napkin.

Sheila J.

These are strong and easy to care for. What a wonderful choice for Simons to showcase the wonderful artwork of William Morris in this way!

belles couleurs

Isabelle D.

Bien contente d'avoir acheté ces serviettes pour aller avec la nappe; j'aime beaucoup le pattern. A noter cependant que le revers n'est pas de la même couleur - il est presque blanc

Beautiful, quality tablecloth and napkins.

Donna L.

Love the pattern and rich tones. Nice weight and draping. Such easy care as well. But, the pattern is only on one side, it is not thread dyed. You can see the white underside where it drapes on the table corners. The napkins white underside is visible as soon as you pick them up. Not what I expected. I also purchased one of the cotton tablecloths which is thread dyed and fully coloured.

Love this pattern

keli w.

The pattern is moody but a fun addition to a table setting. The colours are complementary to most dish ware. No ironing required is a bonus!

Okay Polyester

Dianne S.

These are a lovely pattern but they have not tried to centre any of the design. So looks off.
