Tea Towel, Versailles

A walk through the gardens at Versailles, drawn as a woven scene. Officially licensed by the Ville de Versailles, which is not a thing most kitchen linen can say.

Le Jacquard Français weaves it at Gérardmer in the Vosges as a jacquard damask, so the garden reads on both faces of the cloth. Combed long-fibre cotton, 24 by 31 inches, in the Promenade colourway, a deep blue.

For the francophile. The friend who has been and talks about it. The host gift that outclasses a bottle.
