What is a towel ring?

1 Answer
What is a towel ring?
A towel ring is designed to hold hand towels or other small towels. Towel rings come in a variety of sizes, usually no more than eight inches in diameter. It will fit a washcloth or a hand towel but is neither large nor strong enough to hold an average bath towel. You will find a wide variety of antique and vintage towel rings on 1stDibs.
