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
Embroidered bath towel, 2/2 linen twill with weft loops embroidered with silk in double darning, and fishbone stitch. With metal thread in double darning on the diagonal, double running in a line, fishbone and satin stitch. The main border consists of a repeated motif: a horizontal floral spray, predominantly in metal thread. The main features are a downward curving spray of blue hyacinth flowers above a curving spray of gold buds or seeds, each ending with a red dot. These two curve around a light pink and gold spiky flower. On the upper side of the spray, towards its base, is a stylised red tulip.
