Pair of 19th century handspun and handwoven hemp teatowels - diamond-weave #1
These are beautiful examples of handspun and handwoven hemp teatowels, and I have never found any hemp teatowels in this diamond weave. They may have originated from further south, near Toulouse, but who knows! Gorgeous quality, thick, soft handwoven hemp, with hand-stitched hems. They both have bands of contrasting plain-weave at either end. These are in very good condition, there is a little wear, - one has a couple of tiny rust marks, the other has the weave loosened a little at one of the bands (please see the photos), but they are both strong and thick and beautiful. They have been soaked and washed. They measures 69cm wide by 100cm long. These are now super hard to find.
Please click on the photos to open them up full-sized.
