Over Towels
Over Towels


Over-towels, as they are called in Germany, were a common sight in houses in Germany and Holland up to about the 1950s. They were used to decorate a kitchen and hide the everyday, unadorned kitchen towels. They were draped over the rods with the top part folded over. They are usually heavily embroidered and decorated with various scenes or with abundant floral decorations.
