Antique Damask Linen White and Red Hand Towels Pair

A beautiful example of 19th-century craftsmanship, this pair of antique damask linen hand towels showcases the timeless elegance of heirloom quality household linens. Woven in a striking red and white damask pattern, each towel features intricate French Country scroll motifs that reflect the refined taste and artistry of the period. Expertly crafted from pure linen, the towels have a soft yet substantial hand and a subtle sheen characteristic of high-quality French damask.
