What a remarkable pattern! Lovely swaying Indienne!! Wonderful textile, dating c1810-1830 . Just about as good as they get! ~LONG, approximately 142 inches long, ( 11.6 feet long!! ) SO Much incredible fabric !!*~ I'm BLOWN AWAY this this pattern and textile. Aged, so beautifully ~ a magical Dr Suess like stylized Indienne ~ just amazing. ~ A wonderful medium weight linen and cotton blend. ~ This fabric was printed using hand blocks cut from wood. A different block had to be carved for each and every color. Some tones were hand penciled on to the cloth. The time to create this cloth would have made this an extremely expensive purchase for the day. The tone of the ground is tea stained, the patina is FABULOUS !!!!! ~ there is nothing short of genius about this textile ~*~ This panel was found as part of a large bed set ( to see the other pieces in the collection, simply search my store for the word Indienne and they will appear) An extremely RARE find ~
MEASUREMENTS: This curtain panel measures approximately 32 inches wide at the bottom by 142 inches long , the top which is gathered measures about 19 inches wide ( this top section is gathered and hand stitched to 18th century tape, this can be cut away to create a 32inch width at the top too ~*~ ) ( I have further matching panels of this curtain, if you require further panels, please add to your cart and change the quantity to the number of long matching panels you require! ~ Such a LUCKY find!!!
CONDITION: This textile is in as found, not freshly laundered condition. This textile is in amazing condition for it's age and use! There are some tiny holes visible when held to the light. Please use the zoom feature to view the FABULOUS aged condition closely ~ ~ ~*
