LOVELY metallic threads ~ The way this silk glistens in the light is incredible. One of the finest brocades Ive seen ~ I was very very fortunate to have acquired a collection of 1920s French jacquard and brocade samples from the 1920s, this is one of the pieces. ( to view the other pieces in the collection, please search my store for the words " 1920 sample " and they will all appear. I purchased this from a woman in France whos grandmother was a fabric representative in the 1920s and 1930s. She worked for a fabric company in Roubaix, France ( Northern France, not far from Calais. In the collection were also some documents from the English manufacturer GPJ and Baker. So as the town is near Calais, it makes sense that English fabric was being imported into France. Its extraordinary as this pattern is as fresh as the day it was woven. This document is important and so rare to find unused. This is a heavy weight , jacquard weave fabric. Most of the collection is woven of cotton, some metallic threads , some silk perhaps and some linen in the blends also. Of the tags on the pieces that were dated, all read 1926. Most have a paper tag. Some with initials of the manufacturer. ( please see photographs) An opportunity for an authentic glimpse of the past, fresh as the day it was wove. Rare and very very exciting. This fabric is ideal for any collection and PERFECT for making pillows, handbags, purses, used for upholstering a stool, chair, ottoman, clothing, table runner, framing etc~ Keep your favorites on hand for when that perfect project comes up!
