08312: Here is a very long, narrow piece of early 20th century red
and white floral toile. A wide view can be seen
<HERE.> This piece was
gathered along one edge when I bought it and had likely been a flounce for a bed skirt.
The gathering has been removed and this very long piece is ready to
be reworked for your projects. 19"W x 220"L.
Ca. 1900 $95.00 USD |

04537: This is a very long, hand-quilted bed valance or lambrequin with a wave-shaped bottom edge. The French call this an autour de lit which means 'around the bed'; it would hang around the top of a canopy bed. The background is a deep madder dye grape color and the leaf and flower motif is in off-white. The white hand-quilting stitches are featured as seen <HERE.> A wide view of three of the eight scallops can be seen <HERE.> Measuring 186"W x 30"H, the width is made up of three large sections that are hand-stitched together. They could be easily separated, if desired and used as valances on windows or reworked into cushions or pillows. Excellent condition. Ca. 1850 $450.00 USD |
 |
08266: This is a heavy piece of rustic linen with a woven diamond
pattern design. This rectangle would have been used to as a small
cover for a wooden kitchen table in a 1920s French home. Measuring
29"W x 38"L, it could again grace a kitchen table or be reworked
into sumptuous pillows or or pillow shams. Ca. 1920 $25.00 USD |
 |
05362: There are two pieces of this Napoleon III-era percale weight
cotton print fabric. The background is black and the large-scale
foreground motif of wind-blown poppies and marguerites is in muted
autumn tones. This pattern is much more beautiful than the picture
shows. Each piece measures 31"W x 45" L. Ca. 1880 $70.00 USD per piece |
 |
06954: Here is a heavy woven cotton table cover from the era of
Napoleon III that would have been used on a side table in the parlor
or salon. Taking design inspiration from kilim carpets, this
reversible table cover is woven in dark blue, soft red and beige.
Close-ups can be seen
<HERE> and <HERE>
and the reverse can be seen
<HERE.> 56"W x 60"H
plus 3" knotted fringe. There is some color variation from age and a
couple of faint spots. Ca. 1880 $110.00 USD |

The foreground motif is of plums hanging from meandering branches, interspersed with branches of coral and tiny flowers. Coral branches were popular 19th century motifs and were often paired with various botanical motifs. Each piece measures 31"W x 50"H. Ca. 1890 $50.00 USD per piece |

06160:There are two pieces of this wonderful Art Nouveau stylized floral printed cotton fabric. The background is a very muted Bordeaux shade. The undulating peony pattern is done in shades of rose with 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 88"L. Ca. 1890 $90.00 USD per piece |
 |
07596: Here is a large piece of French vintage ticking fabric in a
very muted tones of faded terra cotta and faded clay. This kind of
ticking comes from the Alsace region of France and was originally
the covering for featherbeds. All tickings have been freshly washed
and ironed. There are a couple of faint spots. 120"W (2 seams) x
33"H. Ca. 1950 $75.00 USD |

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 motif is one that shows elements of 19th century textile 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 55"H. Ca. 1900 $60.00 USD per piece |
 |
03776: Here are three pieces of a rarely-seen 1920s cotton velvet with a dramatic color scheme. The background is a brightly-colored mélange of yellow, orange and tan squiggles.

Ca. 1920 $30.00 USD per piece |
