A 19th century French toile du jouy in the "Grisaille" style after a drawing by JB Huet (1745-1811), I love the way this fabric has aged through time. Originally a natural neutral colored background which has darked over time and really brings out the motifs. Perfect for old world projects, framing, scraping, pillows etc. 
 
Natural background color with brown motifs of musical instuments, country scenes, birds etc. 
 
I believe the fabric was onced used as a wall covering based on old glue marks and upholstery nail holes at the edges.  We have several pieces of the same fabric listed each with it's own characteristics. Look closely at the photos and you will decover some remarkable seams that match up the designs perfectly. All done by hand. 
 
Photos are a good representation of actual color and condition.
 
Measurements
 
Actually 2 pieces of the same fabric sewn together. A seam runs across the width 30.5 cm down from the top (expertly done)
 
The entire piece measures 
 
1 meter 24 cm from top to bottom 
 
The width is uneven at one side and measures
 
57 cm across the middle and narrows to 51.5 cm at the top
 
 
 
Condition
 
Left in it's beautiufully aged "as found" condition.  Not laundered. 
 
The majority of the fabric is even in color with the band at the top that has been sewn on being a shade darker in color. There is glue residue down the right hand side witha bit of silk trim. Split at top edge and some holes bottom right hand corner. Split in fabric just to the right of the silk trim.
