Tea Towel, Médicis

Clipped foliage, urns and broken cornices, the Villa Medici gardens redrawn from the mill's own archive. A tea towel that looks Italian.

Woven by Le Jacquard Français at Gérardmer in the Vosges. A jacquard damask, so the pattern reads on both faces. 100% cotton, 24 by 31 inches, colourway Sienne, a burnt red.

For the friend who rents the same house in Tuscany, the cousin with the terracotta pots on her fire escape.
