A stroke of genius.
Far more practical than it’s wall-hanging counterparts, this towel set displays dramatic still life scenes including oysters, fruit, cheese (basically the most picturesque of nibbles)—perfect for displaying on a hook near the sink or sliding under freshly baked bread before toting it to the table. Oh, and unlike canvas and oil paint, these beauties are champs at drying hands and wiping up spills too.

Meet the Maker
Siren Song
Brooklyn, NY
Our homes truly come alive when we add the tiny, delightful embellishments—and Siren Song has the details our mantels and tables have been yearning for. Their truly special, hand-carved objects are inspired by Dutch still life paintings of the 16th and 17th centuries and their depiction of everyday items (like fruit, butterflies, and flowers) as symbols of larger themes. Siren Song's treasures are a boon for the collector, who finds delight in the curious and unique.

Gorgeous
Just too lovely to use other then when guest are over and to use as liner for the breadbasket at the dinning table because this towel needs to be seen! Great quality.
Beautiful towel
I have it displayed on my dishwasher handle, I am afraid to use it and wash it because it is so pretty. Lol. So I can’t comment on wash and fading as of yet, I will soon.
Beautifully practical
These beautiful tea towels are a wonderful addition to my kitchen. They are certainly an upgrade from the tea towels usually available. I love that I have several and am able to rotate them.
