Pair of French Antique Large Rustic Linen Torchons / Classic 1800s French Kitchen Linens / Heavy Linen Hand Made Torchons

Pair of French Antique Large Rustic Linen Torchons

A wonderful pair of large rustic French antique torchons from a farmhouse in the foothills of the French Pyrenees.

Made of a heavy duty linen, they have been hand made, which was often the case as linen would be purchased from a large roll. They are slightly different sizes, and one is a bit of an odd shape – kind of almost A line -which just adds to the charm and makes it unique!

They both have a cotton tape hook attached, to hang them up on pegs etc.

These look great in a kitchen to add an authentic French touch.

Also lovely to give as gifts…

I scour brocantes, vide greniers, auctions, and all sorts of nooks and crannies to find wonderful old French treasures and it is a passion that grows greater by the day. Where I can I give the story behind each item as they too have had a life and are now looking for their own new story … So I am happy that these long lost items are going to new homes.
