This vintage-style Cambridge tea towel features a classic university streetscape showing Gonville and Caius College alongside the elegant façade of the Senate House. Horse-drawn carriages and historic buildings frame the scene, capturing the ceremonial heart of Cambridge where learning, tradition, and daily life intersect.
Rendered in warm brick reds, soft stone tones, and a clear blue sky, the artwork draws on the confident graphic style of traditional British travel posters. Clean architectural lines and balanced colour fields evoke Cambridge’s long academic history, suggesting a place shaped by centuries of scholarship and ritual.
Both practical and decorative, this Cambridge tea towel brings a strong sense of university heritage into the kitchen. It’s ideal for students, alumni, visitors, and anyone drawn to historic academic cities and thoughtful, place-led 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 character of the original illustration.
