Chinoiserie designed c1880 antique French curtain drape Wonderful two tone fabr

Description: Welcome to The Textile Trunk ~ please follow us on Instagram! We are @textiletrunk ~ This lovely textile is French and dates c1880-1890. The fabric is wonderful! Its a Chinoiserie printed, heavy weight cotton. I LOVE the design! This fabric was a furnishing fabric and is printed on both sides. The front side uses the fabric with a red ground and the back was printed in the same pattern but the design has a dark brown toned ground!~ I LOVE this pattern!! ~ The top is pleated. This curtain would have hung from a bed . The cotton is a heavy weight fabric, sturdy and wonderful~ This would have hung from a bed and used for both decoration and privacy. The back has the thin tape that would have hung it around the four poster bed ~~ Ive kept this textile in as found condition and I believe it needs to be kept this way, unwashed. The reason I say this is that if you look closely at the pattern, you will see some red dye transfer spots, so I would be worried to water wash. The alternative is to dry clean only ~*~ I have other pieces from this bedding collection, please see my other textiles ~*~ MEASUREMENTS : This lovely curtain measures approximately 83 inches long by 61 inches wide at the bottom. The top, where it is gathered measures 48 inches wide. CONDITION: This textile is in as found, not freshly laundered condition. ( please see above for more information about this ) . The top half has many small holes and a few small tears so if hanging as a curtain, this will probably need to be backed ~ For some reason there was more wear at the top! ~ There are some hand stitched mends, some faded areas , some unevenly faded areas, etc ~ Please use the zoom feature to view the condition of this textile closely ~ not without signs of time and use often inherent in these wonderful antique textiles!! ~*~ E W18 20220307
