07461: Pulled from an armoire where it had been stored for decades, this is a piece of unused percale-weight toile from the late 1800s. The background is near-white. The foreground motif of reeds, flowers, orchids and exotic birds is rendered in a very unusual color scheme of mahogany brown and pale watery blue.

The undulating peony pattern is done in gradations of shades of rose with pale, soft spring greens for the leaves. The stylized floral motif has tiny flowerettes on the edges of the stamens. This is a very pretty color scheme and would coordinate well with many interiors. Each piece measures 32"W x 8.5' L. Ca. 1890 $155.00 USD per piece

07075: There are four pieces of this muted floral from the late 19th century. The background is a soft, medium, very calm green. The foreground motif is of daylilies and tiny posies, floating in a random pattern. This piece is one of those that shows both elements of 19th century design as well as hints of 20th century design. The colors are soft and almost neutral and would work well in many decors. Each piece measures 34"W x 114"H. Ca. 1900 $175.00 USD per piece |

The verdure motif depicts a forest and jungle with large ferns, flowering trees and vistas to a distant sea. This fabric is medium-heavy cotton.

07666: This is a pair of French mid-century drapes that would have been used in a den or a child's room. The background of the barkcloth-like medium-weight fabric is a pale beige - just off-white.

07218: Here are three huge pieces of this classically French percale-weight cotton. The wide, pale stripe has a delicate formal background. The foreground motif is of cartouches and medallions filled with roses and dripping with floral vines. The picture does not show the subtlety of color, but the squarer-shaped medallion has a slightly darker background than does the larger medallion. Two of the large pieces measure 32"W x 116"H. The third piece is slightly more faded and has a couple of spots. It measures 64"W (center seam) x 108"H. Ca. 1890 $95.00 USD per piece for the large single width and $100.00 for the double-width faded piece

This large panel has a dark brown background and a brightly-colored foreground motif of many varied exotic flowers and foliage. A micro view can be seen <HERE>.
