be reworked for your projects. 19"W x 220"L.

19th century. $175.00 USD per piece |

could be used again as a daybed cover, but has plenty of fabric to
use in re-purposing for other projects. The background, in palest
gray, is made to look like a sheer curtain panel. The foreground
motif of scattered leaves is done in muted red with pink and green

gathered flounce along one edge. $110.00 USD |

cabernet
wine color, while the foreground motif of peonies, dahlias and iris

cotton print fabric with a densely-packed floral and leaf design. The background
is carpeted with pale green leaves and tiny sprigs of flowers. The

the color wheel. 33"W x 45"L. $80.00 USD per piece |
 |

holes. Ca. 1890 $85.00 USD per piece |
