6 late XIXth Century linen tea towels - Textile - 90 cm - 55 cm

These are 6 tea tea towels in linen, and never used before. They came from a Manor house where the contents were sold as the property was sold. They were in the pantry and have always been there and never been used; The French in those days would buy multiples to take care of the kitchen. They were daily in use and often 5 times per day. The length of 90cm is rare, as linen in those days was expensive to weave. The towels will certainly need refreshing. Vintage linen have already known a first life and can therefore have slight traces of the past. We select the items in the best possible way, with love and dedication. Honest descriptions and images gives a real vision of the items. The linen that we offer for sale is not new linen, unless specifically mentioned, it is second-hand and old linen. As such it may have already been washed, used or even worn. In spite of the great care we take during the preparation, small imperfections can and may escape us. They do not in any way call into question the unique and rare character of these wonderful pieces. I present you our French Antique linen unwashed, as taken out of the armoire, unless otherwise described . It is all clean, but plan to give it a wash before use. Please be aware of the above before you bid and buy. Thank you for taking this into account
