Item Description

French 18th Century siamoise (cotton/linen) Toile de Nantes pair of scalloped textiles most likely for the valance of a bed cover.Block printed in a design called 'La Cornue Fleurie', a lovely pattern of large-scale flowers alternating with stripes of scrolling ribbons and scattered flowers.

This piece is in a strong and saturated madder red with touches of pale saffron yellow.

Manufacturer 'Petitpierre Freres', Nantes. Circa 1780.

There is a light yellow mark coming in from the top left of one of the pelmets which is barely noticiable on the piece but exaggerated in the photographs.

In a very good and unused antique condition which is so rare to find
