Bonjour, welcome to Les Toiles Blanches stock!

here is a gorgeous French antique quilt that dates middle to end of the 19th century.
The fabric is a cotton fabric of good medium weight with a dense but not heavy wool batting inside.
The quilt has a medium fluffy look quilting.

The provencal decor of the quilt is really a gem, with two different decor : one side has a classic Empire decor, a stripe pattern of large pink, yellow and off-white stripes with gorgeous small and medium scale roses bouquets. The other side has a beautiful decor of off-white indiennes on a deep raspberry pink ground.
The colours are really beautiful.


The quilting pattern is classic.
The quilt is hand sewn.

The measurements of this piqué de Marseille are to be noticed, well wide and long, with an alomost square shape, large enough to cover a king size bed.

This piqué de Provence is in a fine condition with only a few marks of age.
A gorgeous condition for a textile of that age!
The French boutis is as found.

This amazing antique textile is not that heavy thanks to its light dense wool batting!

Textile Care

Antique linen is a living material, if you treasure it, it will reward you a hundred times. A lot of antique textiles are so robust and wonderfully easy to wash and maintain. The fibres of these exceptional fabrics were grown without any use of chemical, these textiles are organic. No need to use chemicals to wash antique textiles, a good simple natural soap such as the savon de Marseille is fine for every kind of linen. The textiles can be machine washed on warm. The warmer ithey will be washed, the softer and floppier they will turn. Again, no need to use a softener, a dash of white vinegar or a spoon of baking soda are perfect to maintain these wonderful textiles. Dry them on the line if possible, expose them under sun light to brighten the natural white.



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!
