ملاحظات
At the end of the 18th century embroidery designs began to develop into rigid and heavily stylised borders for towels and napkins. The colours are strong and greater quantities of metal thread were used. The designs were consistently inventive. The colours in some 19th century embroideries were originally very bright but have faded to pleasing pastel shades. Bath towels were woven with a looped pile. The idea was introduced into western Europe when it was copied by the Manchester firm of Christy and Sons about 1840.

Fiziksel açıklama
Bath Towel, 2/2 linen twill with weft loops embroidered with silk in double darning, double running in a line and musabak and with metal thread in fishbone and satin stitch and with plate in satin stitch filling in squares. Both ends have been embroidered with a repeating circular, floral motif. There is a pink rose, three closed and one open rose buds on a leafy curving stem and one blue open bud on the same stem. From this bud and curling around the rose is a spray of small pink flowers. There is a narrow border across the ends and up the lower sides; it is outlined in metal thread and contains a floral meander of pink and blue blossoms and leaves. There is a warp fringe at one end.
