An absolutely beautiful hand towel embellished with fancywork on both ends. It was done in a technique most commonly called sol lace (sol meaning Latin for “sun”). If you look at closely each pattern they all radiate out from the center. I have stared at this piece a hundred times and am still awed by the intricacy and skill it took to make it. Made from a medium weight linen, it measures 21.75” x 18.5”. Unused and perfect. Oh, so elegant and perfect for the finest of homes.
c.1900 or earlier Freshly laundered. Excellent condition
