Beauvillé tea towels are screen printed. Screen printing dates back to 1937 and is the evolution of the 17th century block printing method. These towels are so beautiful, they could be framed! The Red Poppies - or "Coquelicots" in French - towel is a perfect example, with a beautiful field of poppies on a yellow background. Each towel measures approximately 20" x 31" and is made of 82% cotton and 18% linen. The addition of linen fiber makes a beautiful base for printing. The design is crisp and the colors pop! Hand printed in France.
