BEAUTIFUL LARGE ANTIQUE FRENCH CHATEAU TAPESTRY
Description
This auction is for a beautiful antique French chateau tapestry panel c1900-1920. It has been jacquard (machine) woven in wool. The colours are beautiful, aged over time to different shades of brown and antique gold, a superb focal point in any room. Little birds perch or fly among the branches of trees in a woodland glade, the tiny villages and chateaus nearby are visible between the trees, which are growing beside a lake. The foreground is studded with pretty flowers.
It is quite large, measuring 78" wide by 70" or 2.01m by 1.78m and weighs about 2kg. It is in very good condition, a wonderful patina of age, just the following to note, it has at some point had a border on the right hand edge, this has gone, leaving a 10cm/4" strip that has a slightly different colouration, see photos, this could be removed, or a new border added to finish the tapestry off. Also, the is some faint vertical sun fading, see whole piece photos, this adds to its antique patina, but may improve with careful cleaning. Please note, the colour is a little darker than the outdoor photos, and a little lighter than the closeups. Thank you for looking.
Please take a look at my shop for more lovely antique and vintage fabrics and haberdashery especially sourced for country cottage, shabby chic and shaker projects. I am always happy to combine postage for multiple buys, it can work out quite a bit cheaper.

Overseas buyers, please contact me BEFORE bidding, as this weighs 2kg unpacked, and will be quite expensive to post.

Overseas buyers, please use Paypal only, I am afraid that I cannot accept money orders.
About Us
Welcome to Morgaine Le Fay Antique Textiles, a treasure trove of antique and vintage textiles maintaine by vanye90. I am an obsessive collector of beautiful fabric and other textiles, I love pattern, colour and texture, and this is reflected in the stock I buy. I love the 'shabby chic' look where the patina of age and use are celebrated, as well as the more utilitarian Shaker style and the pretty country cottage look, and always carry stock that would work well with these types of interiors.
I source antique fabrics, linens, lace, embroideries, passementerie trims, ribbons, gold and silver metal threads and much much more. I have a fondness for French textiles, and you will find plenty here. I also look out for wonderful antique and vintage curtains, they have so much more character than newly bought ones.
I am always more than happy to put together project packs for customers containing certain types of fabric or haberdashery, for example antique French tickings, florals etc, or different types of ribbon/lace. If you are on the look-out for anything specific, why not contact me, I may be able to help.
I constantly update my listings, adding a few more things most days, so please save me to your favourite seller list, and check back often, I may have just what you are looking for!
Please note that most of my items are antique or vintage, and show signs of age as noted on the listings. they will not look pristine and new, if this is what you are looking for, my listings may not be what you are looking for.
I am always mote than happy to combine postage for multiple items where possible, this can often lead to a substantial reduction.
Thank you for taking the time to read this, vanye90.
