Introducing a delightful pair of antique embroidered silk and cotton blend velvet fragments in a gorgeous olive green color. The velvet has a medium nape and is quite plush. The panels feature applique work done in pastel tinted leatherette (which was invented during the 19thc in Germany as a substitute for leather.) These fragments were salvaged from an antique curtain panel ages ago. I am dating them to the end of the order 1800's - early 1900's. I am uncertain of origin.
This listing is for the pair of panels photographed.
You could create a pair of smashing pillows, especially if you line it with a neutral linen fabric. The embroidered/appliqued design of scroll, fruit and leaf is in the Arts & Crafts style which was quite popular at the turn of the century. The panels are lined (I can remove the lining for you if you wish.)
Excellent condition for age. Clean with no spots or fading, no tears, no pet hair, odors or holes. There are some scattered bits of thread that need to be picked off the velvet.
Be sure to take a look at the other antique velvet fabrics that I currently have listed in RuinsCa and remember to combine your purchases to take advantage of our FREE domestic shipping.
Size: 12 1/4" x 9" - each approx at widest points.
