Very large 19th century handspun and handwoven hemp teatowel initials MB
From my contact in the Vendée once again I have some limited pieces of amazing hemp coming from a wealthy 19th century farmhouse. This is a very large teatowel which was woven expressly to be a teatowel (most hemp teatowels were cut down from worn-out sheets and have hems on either side - this one has selvedges) with raised weft-thread stripes at both ends. Handwoven hook tapes at either end. In excellent condition, this measures 72×111cm.
Please click on the photos to open them up full-sized.
