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. There is an embroidered inscription in arabic script on this towel which reads Ma sha' Allah [whatever Gods wills]. 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.

  • Bath towel, linen embroidered with silk in double darning and double running in a line and with metal thread in double darning on the diagonal and slanted satin stitch. There is a narrow band worked with metal thread and above that is a line of identical motifs: three rose stems rising from a crescent shaped bowl.
