07262: This is a very large piece, but unfortunately, it is not in very sturdy condition. It has many weak spots and small holes, so could only be used as "background" decoration.

05316: This is a very large panel of medium-weight linen from the 1920s. The background is off-white. The stylized foreground trellis motif is in muted, warm gray. The trellis pattern is punctuated by small wreaths of roses and rosebuds. The geometric patterns and the softly-faded colors give this a quiet aura.

04932: This is a late-19th century fragment of French machine-woven tapestry fabric. Closely-packed leaves contrast with hanging berries. The weaving is of very good quality, giving the woven pattern a three-dimensional look.

|
05670: This very pretty Art Nouveau pattern has a tone-on-tone background motif of garlands and acanthus in a very pale, warm neutral tan.

Some minor mold spotting is evident. Ca. 1910 $55.00 USD |

|
05683: This is a large piece of percale weight toile with an off-white background. One and a half fabric-widths wide, this piece was probably originally a curtain panel. The foreground motif, done in a deep burgundy shade, is of pretty songbirds fluttering between branches of roses and fruit trees. This piece has several small holes plus a tear right at the seam line, but there is still good yardage for reworking. 57"W (seam) x 100"H. Ca. 1900 $120.00 USD
