Shaving Apron and Matching Towel

The shaving apron is embroidered with flowers on leafy stems in two different colour-ways. The flowers hang downwards. The same flowers, arranged alternately, fill the broad border encircling the neck and the back opening of the apron. The ground of the border is entirely filled with tambour work in metal-wrapped silk thread. Around the edges of the shaving apron is a narrow border of leaves and flowers. The towel is decorated with similar flower motifs forming a broad band between two narrow borders of flowers and leaves.
