Such a sweet find. A beautiful & somewhat humble home made vintage curtain in the prettiest floral.
I’m sure it has a story to tell. The floral is the main part of the curtain with a natural toned solid type cotton that resembles feedsack added to the bottom to make it longer. Most likely as thats all they had & made do.
Strikes me as a post war/depression piece, latter 30’s to 40’s.
Somewhat naively sewn yet was probably someone’s pride & joy.
The large scale floral is so beautiful & unique. I believe hand printed cotton. Initially almost looks hand painted. It’s a very interesting printing style. Unique to find.
It has the very best shabby cottage/old shanty appeal.
Condition is overall good. A few small spots on the natural fabric area. May wash or spot clean out.
Simple rod pocket on top. Again, simple & somewhat naively sewn which is definitely part of its charm.
The green tone is slightly oxidized which is inherent of older green dyes. It’s a green somewhere between a dusty mint & avocado.
•••Measures~ 52” wide by 86” long. 12” of the length is the natural solid bottom area.
I think it’s adorable in a shabby cottage farmhouse setting. The fabric is also quite beautiful in projects.
Many thanks!

I sell antique and vintage fabric. Each textile is different; some possibly used, some unused. I will give you my best assessment. I do not always launder them nor do I know all their history, how they have been stored over time etc.. I have a 30+ year long & extensive knowledge of textiles and gauge age ranges; fiber content etc.. to the best of my ability. As always please view all photos, dimensions etc.. as they are part of the description. Please keep in mind that I provide the best photos possible but monitors do vary. If my eyes should miss a small flaw, please know it is not intentional. I am always available and happy to answer any inquiries so always please ask if I have not addressed something that may be important to you.I
do combine shipping whenever possible. If you are an international
buyer or purchasing multiple pieces, please wait for my personal invoice
as ebay's auto. combined invoices are rarely accurate. You can do this
by either messaging me or using the drop down button that says "request
total from seller" after your purchase but prior to paypal checkout.
Again, if you have any questions, please message me.
