which was the fabric that was the inspiration for American
barkcloth. The background of the wide stripes is a creamy off-white,

02826:This is unused yardage of an early 20th century toile designed
by Jean-Baptiste Huet in 1806 for the famous Jouy factory. It is
printed on a medium weight cotton fabric. The large-scale pattern is titled
Le meunier, son fils et l'âne (The miller, his son and
the ass) and is beautifully engraved and printed with very fine
detail and a well-balanced design. The engraved printing rollers
were used for many years, so most toile
patterns were printed again and again from the original rollers. New rollers were made if the pattern retained its popularity. Micro
views can be seen <HERE> and

x 92"L. Ca. 1900 $325.00 USD |

cotton fabric with a creamy off-white background. The foreground

of the
French countryside. Each large piece measures 32"W x 50"H. Late
19th century. $90.00 USD per piece |

deep green tone-on-tone background floral motif. The sophisticated,

originally used in a dining room. This piece measures 32"W x 50"H. Ca. 1880 $65.00 USD |
 |

couple of small spots and a little wear to the ebroidery. 20"W x
14"H. Ca. Mid-20th century. Perfect for framing! $35.00 USD |

freshness and an almost tropical feel. The fabric is a percale
weight cotton and has an off-white background. The background also
has sets of very pale yellow vertical stripes. The foreground motif
of large scale blue iris and oversized green fern fronds look almost
to be suspended from the sets of yellow stripes which represent a
trellis. A couple of small flaws on each very large piece. 48"W x
55"H. Ca. 1920 $110.00 USD per piece |
