Six French Antique Linen Damask Hand Towels Initialled DT in Red / Elegant Long Damask Towels / Unusual & Sophisticated French Hand Towels
From the leafy suburbs of Paris, this really elegant set of six French linen damask hand towels. Beautifully hand embroidered initials "DT" in red, these date from around 1900. They're not napkins, as they are too long for that, and were described by the auctioneer as hand towels.
These would have come from a very bourgeois home.
They're fabulous quality, on sale with damask detailing around the edges and a very fine waffle check in the centre. The initials are beautifully executed.
The hand towels will look fabulous piled on a dresser, in a bathroom etc, and will add a touch of Parisian chic to your home; In lovely condition - no holes, or major marks - they have been laundered and pressed.
A lovely housewarming gift idea.
Measurements 88cm x 63cm / 34.6" x 24.8".
I scour brocantes, vide greniers, auctions, and all sorts of nooks and crannies to find wonderful old French treasures and it is a passion that grows greater by the day. Where I can I give the story behind each item as they too have had a life and are now looking for their own new story ... So I am happy that these long lost items are going to new homes - I have been their brief guardian and now, it is someone else's turn to love and cherish them.
