Vintage 1940–1950 Hand-Embroidered Chicken and Rooster Kitchen Towels

Charming vintage set of hand-embroidered cotton kitchen towels, dated 1940-1950. Each towel is decorated with colorful embroidered chickens and roosters, presented in cheerful and expressive scenes with a playful folk-art character.

These towels reflect the mid-century tradition of transforming practical household textiles into decorative objects.

The set has been carefully cleaned and is ready to display, suitable to be layered over one another, hung individually, or incorporated into a curated kitchen textile grouping.
