antique 18th c georgian silk boutis - piqué pannel:
$122.50

part of a huge antique 18th century boutis / piqué coverlet from the Chateau de Hauteville, this cut and saved piece is thin and lightweight, a delicate handwork with tiniest stitches.

Corded work between 2 layers of shiny silk: one red, one ivory, it is still impressive with just a bit of wear to the red silk side.

There is a bit of wear to the edges so I will give once, the measurements of the complete piece with several seams near the edges and once, the measurements of the best useable piece in the center:

1 - complete,(several added pieces to the sides) : 40\" x 28\"

2 - center without seams : 34\" x 24\"

If you have any special request, please let me know BEFORE offerding(I never publish questions containing names or mail adresses)Also, please keep in mind that your item will be send from Europe and that you will need some patience to receive anything bigger than a tall envelope
As far as possible, and unless otherwise required by the buyer I try to ship in a flat envelope that usually travels between 2 and 3 week for a reasonable price and can be tracked and insured up to 150 Euro. Unfortunately the small priority parcel does not exist any more since the 1.1.2015. Everything that does not fit in a 3\" thick envelope must now travel express faster, but possibly checked by customsI\'m always glad to combine shipping but please let me know in advance when you plan several purchases (to avoid unnecessary packing)
I charge no packing or handling fees and I use recycled wrappings and boxes as far as possible. Indicated shipping price is an estimation. If after packing there is a difference, I refund the exceeding amount, if I underestimated, the difference is for me. Except snow-storm or car-problem I send the day following payment.
Please be aware that whatever I\'m listing, (mostly fabric, materials, costume pieces, lace and accessoires to repair) it can sometimes be in good condition but it is NEVER NEW from a shop shelf!!!! (so signs of a former life are often noticeable unless they are described clearly as VGC or AS NEW)
