reeds, flowers, orchids and exotic birds is rendered in an
unusual color scheme of mahogany brown and palest watery blue. Micro-view

 |
07301: Here are three pieces of late-19th century
medium-weight cotton fabric with a tone-on-tone resist dye background motif
of feathery ferns. The large foreground motif of large scattered flowers
is done in muted shades of rose and olive. Even though this
French antique fabric
is 100 years old, it is in excellent condition with no fading at
all. Each lovely piece
measures 32"W x 45"H. Ca. 1900 $70.00 USD per piece |

05344: This is a rare horizontal banner done in pale aqua silk with
a black silk border. A portion of the banner can be seen
<HERE.>
I bought this piece in France, but it is originally from Southeast
Asia. The intricate embroidery is done in silk thread with stunning
detail in the faces and in the texture of the clothing. Starting
from the left side of the banner at the head of the procession,
there are six images that show the entire width

Beautiful! 80"W x
14"H. Ca. 1920 $450.00 USD |

07406 and 07407: Here are two large French antique needlepoint canvases that were obviously created to be used in the same room. With variations on the same theme, these pieces were likely destined to be a chair seat cover and an ottoman cover. They can be purchased separately or together. Both canvases are unused and in near-perfect condition. They are worked in a fine-quality wool yarn with 9 stitches to the inch. The background is a deep chocolate brown. 07406, pictured at the top, is the larger of the two, with the worked area measuring 25"W x 23.25"H. The canvas is slightly larger. An enlargement can be seen <HERE> and a micro-view can be seen <HERE.> On the piece pictured at the bottom, item 07407, the worked area measures 21.75"W x 17.25"H. An enlargement can be seen <HERE.> In addition to being used as upholstery, these pieces would be wonderful made into elegant cushions. Ca. 1900 $155.00 USD for the larger piece and $140.00 USD for the smaller |

07530: This is an exceptionally lovely
percale-weight French toile fabric with a rarely-seen pattern. The
background is just off-white while the foreground motif includes
branches of flowering fruit trees, bamboo and fluttering songbirds
done in a muted wine tone. The bamboo fronds are printed in a
fainter shade, which gives a three-dimensional look to the
fabric. Micro views are
<HERE> and
<HERE.>
Each piece measures 47"W (seam) x 50"H. Ca. 1870 $185.00 USD per piece |
 |
06383: This exotic percale-weight cotton fabric has an
inky-black background and a foreground motif that is a mixture of
feathery ferns and full-blown summer roses! The delicate
fern fronds are printed in several shades of green which gives them
a realistic appearance. The roses are in muted reds
and ivory. This design is well-balanced and beautifully printed. A micro-view can be seen
<HERE.>
This is the last piece I have and it measures 32.5"W
x 50"L. There are several small holes. Ca. 1880 $75.00 USD |
 |
06674: This is a piece of this medium-weight vintage American printed
linen fabric. The background is a pale natural linen shade, while the
foreground motif of large roses in a basket surrounded by scattered
flowers is done in watercolor-like clear shades of pink, rose and green. The piece
measures 32"W x 84"H and has three good repeats. Ca. 1920 $45.00 USD |
 |
08299: Here is a very lovely piece of French vintage mattress
ticking with wide stripes in a deep rose-red shade alternating with
narrow stripes that are shaded from pale tan to mocha to light
brown. Very striking! This ticking comes from the Alsace region of
France. 43"W x 23"H. Perfect size for a cushion, a lampshade or
other project. Freshly washed and ironed. Ca. 1920 $35.00 USD |
 |
06895: There are two single fabric width pieces of this
good percale-weight cotton print from Provence. The
background is a creamy off-white. The lyrical floral
motif of inter-twining bouquets is in muted shades of reds and golds
and moves up the fabric on 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. The price reflects the flaws. Much
prettier than the photo. Ca. 1900
$100.00 USD per piece |
 |
07128: Here are two pieces of a percale-weight cotton print
fabric 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
and the pattern has been printed to look like embroidery. This is
a dramatic motif and is prettier than the picture shows. 30"W x
48"H. $70.00 USD per piece |
 |
07248: There are four large pieces of this percale-weight cotton
print from the early 19th century. The textile companies
discovered chrome yellow dye in about 1830 and fabrics with bright yellow
backgrounds became very popular. Most were printed with red dye
overlay on the yellow background. This one is unusual with the complicated
scrolling acanthus leaf pattern that has the subtle shading and
three-dimensional effect created by tiny lines. There is some slight
color variation in a couple of the pieces. 28.5"W x 52"L. Ca.
1835 $85.00 USD per piece |
