Bonjour, welcome to Les Toiles Blanches stock ! here is a gorgeous pair of vintage curtains that dates c1960. The fabric is a beautiful linen with a good medium weight and a soft texture. The fabric has a stunning classic decor of tropical botanical scenes, parrots, palm trees, flowers and fruits… This stunning medium scale decor with brown, blue and raspberry tones comes off beautifully on a bright saffron ground. The pair of curtains is backed with a fine off-white cotton, the whole textile being heavy with a great drape. I sell this nice pair of vintage curtains with their large hardcover matching tassels. Those curtains have a fine large width with nice large gathers on the top and a lot of volume (29 in at the top with 51 in of total width). Both of the curtains have metal hook hand sewn in the gathers on the top back to be hanged There is the original label of the maker, Forum Decor, 1 et 3 rue de Trudaine 51100 Reims. The curtains are as found. Gorgeous drape, tones and decor! follow us behind the scenes on Instagram! we are @les_toiles_blanches
Textile Care |
The textiles I propose show signs of times, marks that are a moving, precious treasure which attests a bygone era. I will always try to describe them as accuratly as possible, giving many details, measurements and pictures to show the reality of the linen. Estimating the age of a fabric is not scientific but rather archeologic, many signs are useful, such as the stitches, the embroideries, the sewing, the colour, the texture, even the smell of the fabrics can help. Sometimes, the auctionneers or the owners give me precious information about the origin of the trousseau, monograms, name of the ancestors. Experience is also crucial to feel and judge the fiber content, the age, the origin or the use of the textile. I will strive to describe the textiles in the most complete way, using my honest judgement, having spent many years manipulating them. Please note my textiles come from a smoke free house. When they are freshly laundered, the textiles have been washed with natural organic soap and sun dried on line. I recently started selling my treasures, new items will be on sale very often, so please keep your eyes peeled!
