During my buying trip to France last September I managed to truffle out some delightful items, and I am continuing to list these as I retrieve them from their boxes. South West France proved to be a fabulous hunting ground, and the warm sun, the glorious food and the lovely people I met made the sojourn far more than a “buying trip”. My next trip in May this year is already planned, and my contacts have been alerted! In the meantime, enjoy the antique and vintage French items I currently have listed. Earlier in the week I opened a box of my best finds – glorious 19th century bed canopies, lace tulle bedspreads and curtains, 19th century fabrics etc. – irresistible!
An absolutely beautiful large antique tulle lace panel (curtain, drape, bedspread....) - with Cornely hand worked embroidery, cut-work and appliques, depicting flowers and foliage - so pretty! The panel measures 130cm wide x 328cm long. The top edge is not finished off - if you want to use as a curtain you could add a header tape - it is long enough to be used as a door curtain too. Freshly laundered with no marks or stains - the tulle ground is palest cream, whilst the Cornely crewel stitch embroidery and cotton appliques are white. The panel is in good condition, but there are several small holes and a couple of mends, commensurate with its age. This is a wonderful example of this kind of French lace curtain - you could suspend it from the ceiling as a floaty room divider, or attach it to a larger panel of a contrasting colour to make an amazing bedspread. Just lovely!
