These lovely soft cotton towels have the feel of hammam towels, the fringing is deep and two of them are beautifully embroidered with the initials A&B. An excellent example of the French trousseau tradition, all household linens used to be hand finished and embroidered before marriage, a custom which continued through until the early part of the 20th century. These towels have a blue border design and the fringes on both ends are hand tied. Two of the towels are monogrammed, beautifully worked and each a different design of the same 2 letters, A&B. All are in excellent condition.
