Fabulous rare mid #19th century French block printed cotton curtain panel/ yardage. This delightful textile was both roller and Block printed.
Stunning Persian blue floral motif with bronze leaves, lovely aged / tea stained color ground. Fabulous picotage or "pinning" detail added by using wooden blocks with various size brass pins to create subtle background texture and color. Gathered at top & hand stitched to linen tape. Small cotton edging in Burgundy hand stitched to one edge.
Condition: Some signs of age and use. Some very slight inconstancy to the background aging that adds to the charm! Some small spots that blend in fairly well. An area at top with a number small holes most notable when held to light. See last photos for examples.
**Please see photos and use zoom for additional condition and item detail.**
Approximate measurements: 14" at gathered top then 27” wide X 62” long
Carefully hand washed, pressed and ready to use.
Wonderful to use as is or appropriate to repurpose for many projects including pillows, cushions, curtains, doll clothes, dolls, crafting, quilting, lampshades & more!
