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 3 pieces of the same fabric sewn together. A seam runs across the width 21 cm from top edge and another that runs across the width 33 cm from the bottom. Bottom panel is three pieces sewn together with seams running top to bottom. All the seams on this piece are matched perfectly with the motifs.
 
The entire piece measures
 
1 meter 24 cm from top to bottom
 
The width is
 
84 cm
 
This would make a beautiful long pillow.
 
Condition
 
Left in it's beautiufully aged "as found" condition. Not laundered.
 
The majority of the fabric has darkened with age and fairly even in color. Glue residue at all edges along sides and bottom. Splits in fabric at lines of glue residue. Bottom left hand corner missing fabric as well as a spot bottom center. One small hole towards top edge.
