07301: Here are four large pieces of a late-19th century medium-weight cotton with a tone-on-tone resist dye background motif of feathery ferns.  The foreground motif of large scattered flowers is done in muted shades of rose and olive.  Even though this fabric is 100 years old, it is in excellent condition.  Each lovely piece measures 32"W x 92"H.  Ca. 1900

$160.00 USD per piece

 item 07301

 

07128:  Here is a very large piece of a percale-weight cotton print from the late-19th century.  Arranged in a stripe pattern, the classic motif is of climbing rose vines bearing full-blown roses.  The colors are in deep tones of forest green and rose-red.  This is a dramatic motif and is prettier than the picture shows. 30"W x 100"H.

$140.00 USD

 

 

08001: Here is a pair of American vintage barkcloth drapes in near-perfect condition.  The large-scale tropical motif of elephant ears and exotic flowers is arrayed on a pale gray background.  This pair of lined drapes is double-wide and measures 86" wide at the bottom edge x 82" high.  The top is pleated to a width of 47".  If desired, each panel could be divided in half which would create two pairs of drapes.  A micro-view can be seen <HERE.>   Perfect for a bungalow or mid-century home!  Ca. 1950

$125.00 the pair

05889:  This softly-faded print is on a percale weight cotton that is very soft from repeated launderings.  The large-scale Art Nouveau-style background of stylized undulating leaves is in pale blue and prussian blue.  The foreground floral motif, inspired by paisley patterns, is in soft pastel tones.  There is some color variation in these pieces and a spot or two.  Each of the two pieces measures 31.5"W x 120"L with a 26.5" vertical repeat.  Ca. 1890

$135.00 USD per piece

06895:  There are four single fabric width pieces of this nice-quality percale-weight cotton print from Provence.  The background is a creamy off-white.  The unusual and lyrical floral motif of inter-twining bouquets in muted warm shades of reds and golds, moves up the fabric in a diagonal.  Fine tendrils of fronds and leaves float around the bouquets.  Each piece measures 31"W x 100"H.  These pieces are in overall good condition, but do have some slight color variation and a couple of small spots.  Two of the pieces have slight water marks. This fabric is much prettier than it appears in the photo. Ca. 1900

$125.00 USD per piece

 

05620: Here are three single fabric width pieces in a medium weight cotton.  The background is a very deep midnight blue.  The foreground motif is of romantic pale pink climbing roses and rosebuds with muted, almost neutral-toned leaves.  And, for a touch of whimsy, there is a small bee buzzing near the flowers.  A close-up of the bee can be seen <HERE>. Each panel measures 32"W x 108"H with each panel having a horizontal seam about 28" from the bottom edge.  Dark backgrounds were extremely popular during the era of Napoleon III. Ca. 1880

Other tiny flowerettes and trailing vines complete the motif. 32"W x 100"H.  Ca. 1870

03865: This is a large vintage tablecloth.  The pale stripes are a natural linen while the narrow, colorful stripes are of dyed linen.  This piece is quite heavy weight and has a festive, French look to it. 62"W x 92"L.  It could also be used as a throw over a sofa or chair, or even as a spread on a single bed.  A close-up can be seen <HERE>. Ca. 1960

07450: There are two pieces of this pretty medium-weight 19th century cotton print.  The background is a creamy off-white.  The all-over scattered floral foreground motif includes stylized tulips, peonies and roses.  The floral motif is printed in the lovely muted sun-drenched colors of a late-autumn day.  One piece is a single fabric-width and measures 32"W x 108"H.  The other piece is 1.5 fabric widths and measures 47"W (seam) x 108"H.  Late 19th century.
