I WOULD DESCRIBE THE DESIGN OF THIS ONE ONLY WONDERFUL VINTAGE CURTAIN AS ONE OF THE MOST STUNNING AND BEAUTIFUL I HAVE EVER SEEN WITH HUGE GORGEOUS BOTANTICAL LEAVES AND FLOWERS - THE DESIGN IS CALLED 'FOUNTAINALL' BY THE PRESTIGEOUS OSBORNE & LITTLE COMPANY,
THE SELVEDGE OF THE CURTAIN SAYS THE FABRIC DESIGN WAS 'PRINTED IN ENGLAND AND DATES TO MCMXCVII (1997).
THE CURTAIN IS LINED AND WARMLY INTERLINED.
THE FABRIC FEELS AMAZING QUALITY STILL, ROBUST AND STILL CRISP FEELING WITH WHAT I WOULD DESCRIBE AS A GLAZED COTTON FEEL. THE CURTAINS ARE SLIGHTLY CREASED FROM STORAGE, NOTHING TOO BAD.
THIS CURTAIN MEASURES A LARGE APPROX 129 INCHES WIDE FLAT UNGATHERED AT THE HEM BY APPROX 85 INCHES DROP WITH AN APPROX 3 INCH HEM. THE CURTAIN IS WEIGHTED AT THE HEM.
'ISSUE'
APART FROM SOME HISTORIC FOXING, AT THE HEM AND ABOVE FOR A SHORT DISTANCE,AND IN A COUPLE OF OTHER PLACES ON THE LINING, THE CURTAIN IS IN GREAT PRE-USED CONDITION - THE FOXING IS THERE BUT IS RELATIVELY PALE AND WAS THE RESULT OF DAMP WHERE IT WOULD HAVE TOUCHED THE FLOOR WHEN THE CURTAIN WAS PREVIOUSLY USED AS A DOOR CURTAIN. THE FABRIC IS STILL STRONG.
THERE IS FOXING ON THE LINING AS WELL AS THE CURTAIN FABRIC ITSELF BOTH PARTICULARLY TOWARDS THE RIGHT AND LEFT HAND SIDES OF THE CURTAIN AROUND THE HEM AND A SHORT WAY UP THE CURTAIN ITSELF, THE REMAINDER OF THE FABRIC AT THE HEM JUST SHOWS EXPECTED SMALL SIGNS OF AGE AND USE.
AS THE CURTAIN IS SO LONG, THIS DOES NOT PARTICULARLY NOTICE, IT IS JUST TOWARDS THE HEM, AND I DON'T THINK IT WOULD PARTICULARLY DETRACT.
PLEASE SEE MY SECOND TO LAST PHOTO.
THIS IS THE MOST GORGEOUS DESIGN QUALITY HIGH END CURTAIN, IT IS NOT NEW AND 'PERFECT' THEREFORE SHOWS EXPECTED EXPECTED SIGNS OF AGE AND USE BUT IS ABSOLUTELY SUCH A STUNNING CCOUNTRYHOUSE CURTAIN WHICH, AS WELL AS LOOKING BEAUTIFUL, WILL TO KEEP OUT THE COLD AND DRAUGHTS AS IT IS THICK AND HEAVY WITH ITS INTERLINING.
