08167: There are two pieces of this medium-heavy dramatic
French cotton
floral print textile. The large-scale, all-over tropical design includes
sultry daylilies, dahlias and huge elephant ears. The main color is
a warm ivory that is complemented by muted fall colors. Very
French! 32"W x 65"L. Ca.
1890 $95.00 USD per piece |

08774: This piece of French antique ticking fabric is rendered in muted tones of red, white and pale creamy maize shade. Soft, pretty colors! This kind of ticking comes from the Alsace region in eastern France. All tickings have been freshly washed and ironed. This very big piece measures 46"W (vertical seam at 17") x 140"L. Ca. 1930 $235.00 USD |
 |
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 piece measures 32"W x 45"H. Ca. 1900 (SOLD) |
 |
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
<HERE.>

14"H. Ca. 1920 $450.00 USD |
 |
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 |
 |
06895: There are two single fabric width pieces of this
percale-weight cotton print from Provence. The background is a
creamy off-white; the lyrical floral motif of intertwining bouquets
is in muted shades of reds and golds. Fine tendrils of fronds and
leaves float around the bouquets. 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. Each measures 31"W x 100"H. Ca. 1900
$75.00 USD per piece (HOLD) |
 |
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. Rare. 28.5"W x 52"L. Ca.
1835 $85.00 USD per piece |
 |
08745: This red, ivory and warm beige stripe French antique ticking fabric would work well in many interiors. The colors in the stripes are soft from repeated launderings over the years. All tickings have been freshly washed and ironed. This piece measures 40"W x 29"L. Ca. 1930 $40.00 USD |
 |
06050: This is a piece of dark brown nautical-themed French vintage toile fabric in medium-weight cotton that has never been used. The background is just off-white. The motif is printed in deep sienna brown and depicts scenes around water which includes boats, fisherman, men loading boats and medieval castles. The printing is excellent quality. A micro view can be seen <HERE.> 39"W x 100"H. Ca. 1930 $185.00 USD |
 |
07231: Here is a medium-weight Art Nouveau cotton fabric with a pale gray background
that has fan-like sprays of small flowers that are done in
near-white and mauve. The large foreground motif of stylized
daylilies on undulating stems, is done in deep ochre and mauve. This unusual pattern has a very fresh "feel." The two single
fabric-width pieces measure 32"W x 80"H each. Ca. 1910 $65.00 USD per piece |
