Your towel collection will now become your art collection.

Some may call it a tea towel, others a good old kitchen towel. Whatever you prefer to call it, this one is like no other.

Presenting this beautiful kitchen towel that takes us back in time to the year 1886. Here we meet a famous piece of art called The Old Violin by an Irish-American painter named William Michael Harnett. Harnett was famed for his trompe-l’oeil, or photographically realistic, renderings of still life objects. His masterpiece The Old Violin, one of his most celebrated works, stands as a testament to his skill in creating hyper-realistic images. The painting features a violin, hanging on a door with a newspaper and a letter, depicted with such intricate detail that viewers often believe they are looking at the objects themselves rather than a painted representation. Harnett’s meticulous attention to texture, light, and shadow brought everyday items to life, showcasing the beauty in the ordinary and demonstrating the artist’s virtuosity in capturing realism. This art work is so simple yet intricate and timeless; it successfully shows aged objects in the most graceful of ways. 

 Not only does it have a captivating one-sided print, but it’s also a friendly helper in the kitchen. Definitely a statement piece and a conversation starter.
