Antique Textiles - How can you resist?

I have trouble resisting, I have to admit; the variety is unbelievable - I think it is the tangible history that gets me every time! This is just a series of little notes on how wondrous things are, mostly textiles of course!

Beautiful Birds and Bulrushes



This is one of my favourite fabrics, the detail is incredible, beautiful finches and rushes, insects and flowers all in a soft shell pink and ivory on a moss green background. The fabric is cotton, but a heavy serge cotton like canvas almost, just lovely. The fabric is on a pair of large French pleated curtains with the prettiest tops, rosettes where the pleat is, if only I had a room that needed yet more curtains!!
