The fabric is a silver metallic woven and the snowflakes are painted on, not embroidered. A few crystals in the centers. Arrived individually wrapped in excellent condition in a plastic bag. Nice...lays well, not too thin, but not up to the standard of my dining room decor. They'd look good in a more modern or casual setting. I bought them for an elegant birthday party where I'm bringing out the good silver, crystal and Haviland.  Will have to find something fancier.
