A Touch Of Traditional Hospitality |
Each 30 1/2" by 41", these two towels combine the subtle texture of fine linen with the of beauty hand embroidery and lace in an unusual design. Lengthwise edges are selvege; the back end is finished with a single row of open pulled hemstitching.
The front end of the fabric is cut following the contours of the lace edge
and finished with closely-worked buttonhole stitches. A garland of flowers, leaves and curling tendrils spreads 22" across the front. The needlewoman embroidered in white outline and satin stitch and used lace inserts as the flower-centers. The lace edge extends all the way across the front. A 4" deep center medallion frames an adorable cherub with a horn.
Diamond, square and honeycomb patterned areas are outlined and connected by the closely-worked buttonhole stitches.....a crisp, clear effect. These towels are in excellent condition; brand new, never used.
