This vintage-style tea towel features a detailed historic map of Paris, capturing the city in an era before modern boulevards reshaped its streets. Dense networks of narrow roads unfold around the winding Seine, revealing the intimate, intricate fabric of the old city.
Rendered in soft stone, charcoal, and muted red tones, the artwork has the measured beauty of an antique cartographic print. Fine linework, decorative cartouches, and careful colouring give the piece a quiet authority, inviting slow exploration and familiar daydreams of wandering through the city on foot.
Both practical and decorative, this tea towel brings a sense of place, history, and thoughtful design into the kitchen. It speaks to travellers, map lovers, and those drawn to Paris not as an idea, but as a living, layered city shaped over centuries.
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 character and detail of the original map.
