06219: Here are two pieces of unused French printed linen from the
end of the 19th century. The background is an off-white with a lavender 18th-century-inspired vermicelli
pattern. The unusual foreground motif, in deep ochre shades, is of
floral circles festooned with garlands and a central
bouquet of ragged tulips and lilies-of-the-valley. A micro-view can
be seen
<HERE.> 31"W x 63"H. The cartouche measures
12" across. Ca. 1890 $140.00 USD per piece |
 |
08569: This unusual piece of 19C French cotton fabric has
bullfighting and Spanish motifs. Although bullfighting and Spanish
dances are part of southern French culture in the regions near
Spain, the Spanish motifs are seldom depicted on French textiles.
This fabric is designed in the classic scenic style of the 19th
century, but it is the bullfight and Spanish dance motifs that set
it apart. This piece shows its age and is for documentary purposes.
A rare collectible. 32"W x 48"H. Ca. 1880 $55.00 USD |
 |
07176: Here is a piece of a late 19th century medium-weight cotton fabric woven with a slight twill texture, similar to barkcloth, which the French call cretonne. The vertical motif is of pale orchids and tiny marguerites with soft green leaves and is a seldom-seen variation on the floral stripe pattern. This very pretty piece measures 33"W x 98"H. The pale stripe measures 7.5" wide. $85.00 USD |
 |
03776: Here are three pieces of a rarely-seen Art Deco cotton velvet with
a dramatic color scheme. The background is a brightly-colored
mélange of yellow, orange and tan squiggles. The
foreground motif, of scattered maple leaves, is done in a muted
blues. Each piece measures 46"W x 23"H. (I have one very large
piece available also. Email if interested.) Ca. 1920 $35.00 USD per piece |
 |
07766: There are two large pieces of medium-heavy
cotton fabric with a creamy off-white background. The foreground
motif appears almost like a dreamy watercolor painting and includes
bouquets of clematis with several other flowers and leaves. The
overall feel is of tropical plants, although all are common flowers
of the
French countryside. Each large piece measures 32"W x 50"H. Late
19th century. $90.00 USD per piece |
 |
06608: Here are two pieces of French late-19th century percale print fabric. The background is a very deep shade of green. The foreground pattern is a columnar floral motif and includes mauve poppies, tiny lilies of the valley and ragged golden mums! The design is beautifully balanced. The pieces are in overall good condition, although there a few small flaws. 31"W x 54"L. Ca. 1890 $95.00 USD per piece |
 |
08562: There are six large pieces of this Art Nouveau artichoke
motif. The background is a tone-on-tone simple floral motif in a
café au lait shade. The foreground motif is done in shades of
dark mahogany brown, muted maize and olive. This fabric is printed
on both sides as was the fashion at the time. 30"W x 104"H. Ca. 1910 $155.00 USD per piece |
 |
08408:
This is a 19th century French floral cotton print with a red
background. The foreground motif includes acanthus leaves amidst
large and small fantasy flowers done in tan, pale pink and baby
blue. Red textiles were a fashionable favorite during the late
1800s. This piece measures 48"W with two vertical seams x
88"L. There is plenty of good fabric for pillows or other projects. $125.00 USD |
 |
08949: Here is a very nice piece of French vintage ticking fabric. The wide stripes are a muted cherry red, while the groups of narrow stripes are a pale cream shade. Good condition. 34.5"W x 31"L. $40.00 USD |
 |
07347: Here are two large pieces of an unusual Napoleon III-era antique cotton fabric. Printed on a black background, the foreground features a pastel-shaded pheasant at the center. This bird is standing proudly under a rose-laden trellis while tiny songbirds gather flowering vines for garlands. A micro view of the central motif can be seen <HERE.> 31.5"W x 50"H. Ca. 1870 $120.00 USD per piece |
