These are attractive embroidered cotton or cotton-linen handkerchiefs, that we found in France.  We estimate them to be mid-20th century, most likely 1940s–1960s.

The handkerchiefs feature:

 Fine machine-hemmed edges on cotton-linen ground fabric.

 Floral embroidery worked in brightly coloured cotton thread.

 Simple corner decoration, leaving most of the handkerchief plain.

The blue flowers on the upper handkerchief resemble campanula (bellflowers), while the other example depicts a small bouquet of stylised pink flowers tied with a yellow ribbon.
