Welcome to my shop!

A huge elegant and inticately decorated antique French cornelli lace curtain or bedspread.
The curtain is  elaborately decorated with cornelli embroidered large floral motifs and scrolls. The flowers are hand embroidered and have needle lace to the center of each flower. The borders are scalloped with trailing flowers.
Curtains such as these would have graced Parisienne apartments from the mid 1800's up until  la Belle Epoche.  They were used as an alternative to the heavier bed curtains and were perfect for sheilding best rooms from light and dust without seeming too heavy and oppressive.
This one looks to date from around 1860 due to the scalloped floral design at the edges.
The curtain is in excellent, almost unused condition with no marks or holes,  just a tiny flaw to one edge as seen in the photos.
The measurements are;
Length- 71 inches/ 180 cm
Width- 128 inches/ 326 cm.

My textiles are largely sourced from Scotland, bringing the very best of vintage and antique Scottish heritage textiles for you to enjoy and treasure.

 I love to combine postage and I am happy to ship worldwide, offering both standard and signed for services.

Your order will be sent packaged with the utmost care using recyclable packaging where possible.  I post items Monday to Friday and I try to post as much as possible the same day, but this is only a guaranteed service for purchases made before  12 pm GMT. I charge a small fee of £0.50 for packaging costs which is included in the postage price.

Any taxes incurred at customs are the responsibility of the buyer as are any extra insurances beyond that of the chosen courrier service. I will only write the true value of goods on customs slips.

Please note the date and cost of postage on the stamp and do not hold me responsible for any postal costs or delays that are due to Royal Mail and therefore outwith my control and not on my part.
