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 or for design inspiration.

The meandering, climbing floral motif is done in a medium brown and has accents of pale aqua. This large piece measures 62"W (seam) x 82"H. Ca. 1880 $75.00 USD

07474: There are three large pieces of this unused French antique linen-cotton from the 1920s. This fabric has all the delicacy and charm of the 18th century printed florals that inspired it. The background is a very soft maize. The smaller-scale foreground motif of meandering vines and nosegays is designed to mimic the the style of 18th century block print and resist dye methods. The colors are subtle and capture the glow of the past. Each piece of new-old yardage measures 31.5"W x 180"L. Ca. 1920 $205.00 USD per piece |

05604: There are three single fabric widths pieces of this 'oh-so-french' medium weight cotton print. The pale, wider stripes have an off-white background with bouquets of climbing roses in a muted shade of terra cotta and the narrow, pale stripes have tiny garlands of flowers. The contrasting stripes are in a gray-green faux damask print. The soft, calm tones will work well in many decors. Each piece measures 31"W x 104"H. Ca. 1890 $45.00 USD per piece

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. The large foreground motif of stylized flowers is in white, brown and a hint of grape. Overall, this motif is neutral in tone and would work well in many varied interiors. 51"W x 92"H. 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 $90.00 USD
