Rare! Antique French 1815 Block Printed Hand Dyed Madder/natural dyes Textile RemnantThis remnant measures 11.25\" x 8\" approx.
Absolutely exquisite early French block printed textile remnant! What an incredible design! Two turtle doves are nestled amongst an abundance of foliage, blossoms, thorned rose vines and wispy fern.
The colors are beautiful in person.The colors are wonderful and hand painted in all natural dyes! Beautiful deep and subtle tones in deep striking madder red, pale pink, light tan, taupe, lilac, pale duck egg blue and a deep indigo purple on a pale tan ground. The ground is not as light as the photos may show.Excellent condition for it\'s age with plenty of strength due to it\'s hefty warp and weave, similar to a lightweight upholstery. With it\'s soft canvas weight, it has a flexible hand and is densely woven. The ground shows toning from the natural dyes used long ago in the hand block printing process. There is a lightly soiled, narrow fold line at the top and two pin prick lines running horizontally about an inch apart that are only noticeable when held to the light.This small remnant would be beautiful framed or incorporated in a patchwork pillow perhaps.
A wonderful rare, early piece of history for the collector, study and archival. Happy to answer any questions you may have prior to purchasing. International buyers: combined shipping click the \'request total from seller\' at the top upon checkout to request the lowest shipping.
