This vintage-style tea towel features La Girafe, a graceful zoological illustration drawn from classic 19th-century natural history plates. Shown in calm profile, the giraffe is rendered with careful attention to proportion and pattern, celebrating the quiet elegance of one of the natural world’s most distinctive animals.
The artwork is set within a simple, archival-style frame and printed in soft, muted tones that echo the look of antique scientific illustrations. Fine linework and gentle colour give the piece a sense of order and calm observation, reflecting a time when animals were studied with patience and wonder.
Both practical and decorative, this tea towel brings a sense of serenity, curiosity, and natural beauty into the kitchen. Its understated composition makes it particularly suited to light, neutral interiors and spaces inspired by nature, travel, and historical design.
Printed on 100% cotton and handmade in Britain by our small family business, each tea towel is carefully finished for everyday use while preserving the clarity and detail of the original illustration.
