Authentic Antique English or French Fabric, Printed floral. Antique circa: 1840's-1880's floral fabric. Purchased in England in 1990. 100% cotton Batiste like authentic base cloth. Fantastic condition for age with hand stitching at side seam selvage. I have not cleaned this textile due to its age. *****This fabric document is not a reproduction." Just love the design and couldn't live without this beauty. This design was to beautiful to not purchase.

****I have over two million pieces of antique and vintage textiles, artworks, wallpapers, textile designs and design related items in my personal collection. I have collected and hand picked every single item over the last 50 years. Having been a textile designer for more than 30+ years, I am now retired from my own fabric manufacturing company. I am selling off my collection piece by piece or the entire collection. Interested parties, please contact me for more information.

This is not a reproduction fabric at approximately: 23" long x 16" wide, last piece.

The colors are so beautiful with dusty rose pink, classic French claret, French cranberry red, rust brown, claret. The romantic rose sprigs and large bouquets with a hanging swag motif are lovely and graceful. The base cloth is a soft pearl grey with a green like undertone, a very faint and light printed textured back ground.
This is a rare and special fabric piece for the true antique fabric collector, textile designer, manufacturer or textile connoisseur.

This beauty would be so lovely framed as an art piece. This is a light weight combed cotton similar to a Batiste but a bit heavier fabric which would be great for several crafts, pillows or other sewing projects...
