Vintage floral Romanex cotton French palampore inspired fabric blue green order material 1950 indienne flowers arborescent upholstery pillow

~*~ Welcome to The Textile Trunk! Please follow us on Instagram! We are @textiletrunk ~*~

I adore this fantastic vintage fabric! This French material is a Romanex print and dates from the 1950s. This fanciful arborescent design is inspired by the incredible 18th century Indian palampores and the embroidery of the Mochi people of India! The printed design has fantastic movement - there are wonderful large florals amongst twining branches and beautiful stylized leaves and petals - I think the design has a bit of Dr. Seuss-like quality! The ground is a fresh white tone and the foliage and florals are printed in shades of soft blues and greens with a black or perhaps a very dark navy blue outline - just outstanding! This medium weight cotton is wonderfully sturdy and would be perfect for so many projects - from upholstery, pillows, or curtains to lampshades or other small sewing projects! This vintage design would also be beautiful framed or could be used for design inspiration. A wonderful piece for order any textile collection!

MEASUREMENTS: This fabric measures approximately 28 inches by 83 inches

CONDITION: I have freshly laundered this fabric and it's ready to use! This piece is raw/unhemmed on all sides; the ends are cut a bit unevenly. The selvage on the side is beginning to come apart so there are some loose ribbons of selvage partially intact (see photos). There are some pale faint warm toned storage marks on this piece that didn't wash as well as a couple of very tiny marks - see photos and use the zoom feature for more details. Otherwise, it's perfectly wonderful for anyone that doesn't mind the signs of time and use often inherent in these wonderful antique textiles!
