FRENCH VICTORIAN WASHBASIN TOWELS FOR BATHROOM (13) - Cotton - Early 20th century
These hand towels for the bathroom are becoming rare , but are making a resurgence again after so many years. We have been able to obtain them from the large trousseaux in Pau (S . W. France) recently and were found in a huge antique blanket chest. The lettering is slightly Japanese and most probably due to that the ladies Great Grandmother lived in Japan when she was a child. They have the initials H. F. A. The edgings have a generous thread work border. The dimensions are very generous for that time. PLEASE NOTE: 8 towels are in excellent order. 5 towels all had very minor darning repairs and beautifully done
