Beautiful set of four antique French linen damask hand towels, sourced from the Marché aux Puces in Paris. Fine jacquard-woven floral damask, pure linen throughout. Two towels feature hand-worked monograms: a formal "C.A.C" in a geometric border, and a script "D" against the floral ground. Trims vary, hand-knotted fringe on two, fine hemstitching on the other two, reflecting genuine household accumulation over time rather than a manufactured matching set.
Excellent vintage condition. No holes, no significant staining, soft substantial hand from proper use and laundering rather than long storage. Each towel measures approximately 26" x 40", with slight variation typical of handwoven, hand-finished linens.
A wonderful foundation for a guest bath, vintage table styling, or a linen press collection. Circa 1900.
