Napery
Napery (from Old French
naperie ) is
linen used for household purposes, such as
table linen. Historically it was the office in a
medieval household responsible for the washing and storage of these items. It was headed by a
naperer. This office worked closely together with the offices of the
laundry (washing and storage of
clothing) and the
ewery (water and the vessels for drinking or washing of the person), and the three could be concurrent in smaller households.
