They appear to be unused pieces from a early 20th century trousseau, perhaps lovingly hand-embroidered by the bride-to-be as was the custom in those days. Shown folded, they open up to a very generously proportion -- 26"W x 20"H for the plaid towel, 18.5"W x 26"H for the solid pieces. No maker's marks.

Several sets of French torchons found on our recent international buying trip are being offered by Chez Vous Antiques; if you wish to purchase multiple sets, shipping can be consolidated by contacting Chairish Customer Support. Free local pickup; otherwise shipped via economical UPS ground.

Condition is excellent with no wear, no stains; thought to be unused vintage items. See less
