7 excellent either Tea towels or Napkins in pure soft linen. The design is called " Damier" loosely translated "Chessboard" ,a simple design very popular in the early 20th Century as there was not much else available in design other than the very expensive damask design which was outside the possibility of the average French family. I obtained these items as tea towels for styling and polishing glassware, but I think they are far too good for this purpose and better served as napkins. The initials G.G. are hand embroidered in single red cross stitch . PLEASE NOTE; I styled and photographed 6 tea towels, but there are in fact 7 in total.  PLEASE NOTE THE FOLLOWING: Due to the sharp increase of fuel prices we had to look for more competitive French transport companies. Therefore as this situation is beyond our control deliveries can be delayed by up to approx.10 days. So please do have a little patience. Also the rates quoted are for mainland destinations only. Other territories will be subject to different rates. (THE POSTAL RATES FOR THE ISLANDS OF SPAIN PORTUGAL AND ITALY WILL BE BETWEEN APPROX. € 35 & €48 FOR 4 KILOS.) ALSO PLEASE NOTE: Vintage linen have already known a first life and can therefore have slight traces of the past. We select the items in the best possible way, with love and dedication. Honest descriptions and images gives a real vision of the items. The linen that we offer for sale is not new linen, unless specifically mentioned, it is second-hand and old linen. As such it may have already been washed, used or even worn. In spite of the great care we take during the preparation, small imperfections can and may escape us. They do not in any way call into question the unique and rare character of these wonderful pieces. I present you our French Antique linen unwashed, as taken out of the armoire, unless otherwise described . It is all clean, but plan to give it a wash before use. Please be aware of the above before you bid and buy. Thank you for taking this into account
