Vintage French floral MANTELPIECE COVER curtain cotton FILET LACE FRINGES c1930
|
Bonjour, welcome to Les Toiles Blanches stock! here a lovely mantelpiece cover that dates c1930. The fabric is a light weight cotton with just off the white tones. This Art Deco curtain has the classic rectangular shape to cover the top of the chimney or shelf with a nice work of filet lace. It is trimmed by long fringes. There is a fine floral decor. The filet lace figures stylized flowers on a geometric net. The vintage textile is in a gorgeous timeworn condition with two tiny breaks in the net, hardly noticeable, reflected in the price. I have freshly laundered and pressed this mantelpiece, it is ready to use! Lovely hanged in a bath room or in a kitchen. These cloths look also amazing after having been dyed in faded tones

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!
