19th Century French Linen & Hemp Towel with Madder Red Stripes

There is something special about antique French linens that have been loved and preserved for generations. This exceptional 19th century towel is hand woven of linen and hemp, with the beautiful uneven texture, substantial weight, and unmistakable character we love in early textiles. Woven with small madder red stripes at each end, this heirloom towel has a timeless French Country simplicity.

The hand stitched hems and rich linen “hand” reveal the care and skill behind its creation. Originally part of a cherished family trousseau, this beautiful linen has a wonderful history and has survived beautifully. Layer it in an antique basket, display it folded in your linen cupboard, or use it as a unique French textile accent in your home. A rare addition for anyone who appreciates authentic antique linens with texture, history, and the quiet beauty of handmade details.
