Absolutely stunning hand sewn valance. Beautiful block printed fabric with fabulous picotage or "pinning" detail added by using wooden blocks with various size brass pins to create the subtle tan background details as well as some of the blue. Dating 1860-1870 time period.   Wonderful crisp cotton. Lined back.  Sewn entire by hand so beautifully detailed with the flowing scalloped bottom and block printed border.
 Really so very special!  
I have a second matching larger valance listed separately. 

 Condition: Very good for age and use. There are some small holes on the front and very top left edge, nothing major and they could be mended, tho I would probably  use as is, for me adds to the charm.No notable staining on the front some yellowing/ staining on back see photos. 
Carefully hand washed.  

Approximate measurements:  48” wide with 37" drop on the sides and 28.5 in center. 
I do my best to accurately describe condition and point out major flaws, but condition is seldom perfect as one would expect from a 100 year old textile. Small marks and flaws should be expected. The timeworn look and signs of their unique history is part of what makes them so charming and special!
