A gorgeous antique French silk damask.

Beautiful red which leans into raspberry red.


A long panel in it's original selvedge width of aprox 20". 



Most likely early 19thc range though could be a bit older as were many of the textiles I received in this lovely batch of silks, many in the 18thc time frame. All acquired from a home clearing in Pont de Barret (Rhone-Alpes) area of France.All incredibly unique fine French textiles which I will be listing individually.


This one is strong and stable though does have some aging. A small area of "clouding" which may lift if laundered and a second down towards the center that has a cut/split as seen in my longer view photo. at about the 42” vertical area. Not from weakness but a cut early patch made for whatever they were using this for. See last photos.

There is however, a lot of very good usable silk here for pillow making etc..

Measures~ 20" wide (original width) by 74" long.


Many thanks!





Hello & welcome to Pia's~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.
