PAIR Art Nouveau French LINEN FILET LACE trim curtain BRISE BISE eyelet c1920
|
Bonjour, welcome to Les Toiles Blanches stock! here a beautiful antique pair of curtains that dates c1920. The fabric is a medium weight linen with some transparency and a nice off-white color. The curtains are hand crafted with a stunning decor of an pulled thread work of a Bretonne woman carrying something on her head! This large central medaillon is framed by charming eyelets and a large lace trim. the antique textiles are trimmed on the sides as well with tiny lace. Those charming curtains have a hem in their back to hang the curtains. We call those curtains brise bises in France, it means literally breeze or wind breaker. Those textiles are in a fine condition with just one tiny small break on the left curtain, please see the picture, reflected in the price, but very nice condition nevertheless! I have freshly laundered this pair of antique curtains, they are ready to use! Lovely hanged in a bath room or in a kitchen.

information
|
The textiles I propose show signs of times, marks that are a moving, precious treasure which attests a bygone era. I will always try to describe them as accuratly as possible, giving many details, measurements and pictures to show the reality of the linen. Estimating the age of a fabric is not scientific but rather archeologic, many signs are useful, such as the stitches, the embroideries, the sewing, the colour, the texture, even the smell of the fabrics can help. Sometimes, the auctionneers or the owners give me precious information about the origin of the trousseau, monograms, name of the ancestors. Experience is also crucial to feel and judge the fiber content, the age, the origin or the use of the textile. I will strive to describe the textiles in the most complete way, using my honest judgement, having spent many years manipulating them. Please note my textiles come from a smoke free house. When they are freshly laundered, the textiles have been washed with natural organic soap and sun dried on line . I recently started selling my treasures, new items will be on sale very often, so please keep your eyes peeled!
