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. It would work very nicely inside the doors of a
bookcase or behind the shelves of an armoire. The background is
near-white. The meandering, climbing floral motif is done in a
medium brown with accents of pale aqua. This large piece measures
62"W (seam) x 82"H. Ca. 1880 |

07804: Here are two pieces of beautifully designed and printed 19th
century medium-weight fabric. The popularity of middle eastern rugs
in that era inspired the French textile manufacturers to produce
prints such as this one, incorporating rug designs and
colors. The ombré shadings and the intricate background make this
one of the nicer kilim prints. Each large piece measures 32.5"W x
46"H. Each piece has a few small pinholes and a couple of tiny holes. Ca.
1880 $55.00 USD per piece |

linen-cotton fabric from the 1930s. The background is a very soft
maize. The small-scale foreground motif of meandering vines and
nosegays is designed to mimic the the style of delicate 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. Both pieces have been washed and
ironed. Ca. 1930 $195.00 USD per piece |

 |
07364: Here is a piece of French antique wool challis that was

holes, so can only be used as background or for small projects like

inspiration. 24"W x 78"L. Ca. 1870 $45.00 USD |
 |

pattern give this velvet a versatility, so it will fit into many

 |
07328: There are four pieces of this percale weight cotton print
fabric done with a classic French stripe. Although stripes were a perennial

bluebells and morning glories is done in neutral shades of gray and
tan, giving a very calm aura to the fabric. Each large piece
measures 32.5"W x 104"H. Ca. 1890 $75.00 USD per piece |
 |

these pieces are on discount. Ca. 1890 $35.00 USD per piece |
