A beautiful and unusual pair of WWI-era French souvenir handkerchiefs dating to the circa 1914–1918 period.


Both handkerchiefs feature charming embroidered floral carts/wheelbarrows filled with colorful flowers, along with the words “Souvenir de France.” The embroidery is accented with delicate metallic-tone decorative edging.


What makes this pair especially appealing is that they appear to be unused. Finding a matching pair in this condition is a wonderful addition for collectors of WWI memorabilia, French souvenirs, antique textiles, or early 20th-century embroidery.
