Simply marvelous! *~*~ This is a lovely panel of French antique fabric, printed with a gorgeous embroidered-look floral pattern! This panel was once a bed curtain , it's seamed at the bottom! ~*~ *~*~ Dating from around 1860-1880 this fabric is a light to medium-weight cotton with a slightly crisp hand and a wonderful slightly crisp drape. The beautiful pinks and neutrals floral print is designed to look like embroidery from a distance - it's a trick of the eye (trompe l'oeil)! The ground of the fabric has a wonderfully aged black , bringing even more eye-catching contrast to the floral design! *~* This panel is hand block printed ~ a fabulous quality fabric, but it has not aged well ! Please see condition details below~
