Step back in time with a delicate handkerchief from c. 1830, its intricate design reflecting the artistic craftsmanship of an unknown creator.

Travel further into history as you explore a handkerchief dating back to 1801/25, evoking images of bygone days when fashion was intertwined with tradition. Uncover the tales hidden within "The Unsafe Tenement (The Old Farm)" by James Abbott McNeill Whistler, painted in 1858, capturing both beauty and vulnerability.

Alsace's allure extends beyond its tumultuous past; it also embraces cultural treasures like intricately designed handkerchiefs from different periods throughout the nineteenth century – each one telling its own story through stitches woven by unknown creators. Embark on a journey to Alsace where every corner whispers tales of triumphs, tragedies, and timeless traditions that have shaped this remarkable region for centuries.
