  • ~*~Hello and thank you for looking~*~
A wonderful find! This textile is an antique French textile that I date c1730's . I had unpicked a quilt with many layers and the bottom most layer was a printed cotton c1760's and this fabric was the backing of this quilt. Around the 1730's Nimes was a large producer of " low grade" silk furnishing fabrics and I'm convinced that this is one of these fabrics ~ I've seen similar documented ~ this fabric is hand woven using a very nubby raw silk and it feels to have linen in the blend, the hand of this fabric is amazing! ~ It is a lively, bouncy , LOVELY silky hand ~*~  ~ the border fabric is naturally dyed using a wonderful saffron gold tone ~ the central brown ground fabric is a twill weave , raw silk and linen mix ~ This textile is 100% hand stitched ~ this piece is ideal for study, collecting or lovely for display. This piece has worn very thin with time and has holes , particularly visible when held to the light ( please see photograph 5) the last photograph shows the back of this textile . This textile can be used for projects and the two corners are in the best condition, I can imagine creative hands could manage a few small pillows from this piece! ( not without a flaw or two! ~) an exciting find ~*~ ~*~ ~*~   ( piece 1000)

MEASUREMENTS : This lovely piece measures 23 inches by 70 inches

CONDITION : I've hand washed this lovely fabric ~ please see above for more condition details ~*~

Please email me if condition is vital to your purchase and we can discuss condition in detail. When describing my textiles, I use my best judgment, knowledge and experience to estimate their age. I have had many years of research and hands on experience with these wonderful textiles. I describe items as Antique if I estimate the age to be 100 years of age or greater. EBay currently define an antique as dating to 1930 or earlier. I describe items as Vintage, as per the dictionary definition, if I feel the textile has age, or is outdated or old-fashioned, dating from the past. If I use both Antique/Vintage when describing a textile, it is because I feel the textile is most likely 100 years of age or greater, but may fall just short of that date. I often work in collaboration with other colleagues and textile specialists to ascertain the approximate age of my textiles, however ultimately any statement of age is a matter of best judgment only~*~I also use my best professional judgment to ascertain the fiber content of my textiles, using sight and feel and where possible historical information and context to help me to identify plants used in a particular era. However, because my textiles are old, any statement of fiber content is again always only my best professional assessment. ~*~ I feel privileged and honored to bring these textiles to you, I sincerely thank you for your interest ~*~
