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 |
 |
05362: There is a piece 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. The piece measures 31"W x 45" L. Ca. 1880 $70.00 USD |
 |
08014: This medium-weight cotton has a muted blue background and a fancy diamond-pattern weave as can be seen in the photo. The large-scale foreground motif included peonies and hydrangeas in the palest summer shades. This piece measures 29"W x 65"L. Ca. 1890 $65.00 USD |
 |
06465: Here is an Art Nouveau print with a springtime
freshness and an almost-tropical feel. The fabric is a percale
weight cotton with an off-white background. The background also
features groupings of very pale yellow vertical stripes that
represent a trellis. The foreground motifs
of large-scale blue iris and oversized fern fronds look to be
clinging to the yellow-stripe trellis. A couple of small flaws on each very large piece. 48"W x
55"H. Ca. 1920 $110.00 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 |
 |
05994: Here are three pieces of medium-weight cotton fabric from the late 19th century. The wider stripes, measuring 7.5" wide, have a black background. 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 |
 |
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 $65.00 USD |
 |
08264: This is a heavy rustic linen tea towel with a blue stripe, a hanging loop and a tiny red cross-stitch monogram. The blue and white kitchen accessories are rarely found. Overall good solid condition, but a couple of small spots. 28"W x 34"H. Ca. 1920 $24.00 USD |
 |
07573: Here is a piece of cheerful red and off-white cross-stripe French vintage ticking. The wider red vertical stripes are crossed by narrow red horizontal stripes. This is an unusual ticking pattern that would go well with toiles, rustic linens and cottons and with other red tickings. 42"W x 68"H. Ca. 1950 $65.00 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 |
 |
08800: This piece of French vintage ticking fabric has an unusual and very pretty color scheme with bold stripes of cherry red and rose that alternate with stripes in pale shades of maize. This is a long narrow piece measuring 17"W x 72"L. All tickings have been freshly washed and ironed. Ca. 1920 $55.00 USD |
 |
08681: Here is a dramatic Art Nouveau medium-heavy weight cotton. The background is a very pale mocha with an all-over pattern made up of tiny little off-white circles, giving a sense of airiness or lace. The large-scale floral foreground motif is in very soft shades of rose and green. Micro-view <HERE.> This piece measures 32"W x 50"H. It has a couple of very tiny holes. Ca. 1900 $110.00 USD |
 |
08771: This is a piece of softly-faded and aged French vintage ticking fabric. The wide stripes in soft rosy red alternate with groups of stripes that include tan, rose and navy blue.

 |

fabric
with a lovely soft scrolling floral and acanthus pattern. There are
two pairs of curtains plus a piece of unused yardage. Each panel of
the two pairs of curtains measures 23"W x 70"H. The unused yardage
measures 47"W x 100"L. Ca. 1940 $70.00 USD for the 2 pairs of curtains together and $80.00 USD for the yardage |
