I love the look of this 19th century French pelmet. "Joie de Vivre" bohemian look with it's block print pattern of stylized scrolls and interlocking geometrics. The influences of the design seem to cross many borders. Light cotton in weight with design in a very dark aubergine (looks brown) against a light gold background. All hand stitched. A matching yellow piping along all edges which looks to be silk. Linen strip runs along the top edge at back. A beautiful passementerie along the bottom edge in a rosy red. 
 
Photos are a good indication of color and condition. 
 
Measurements
 
1 meter 68 cm across the top edge x 33.5 cm from top edge to bottom of scallop (not including the passementerie).

The pelmet is actuall 6 pieces of the same fabric sewn together. A large piece at the left and center and 4 smaller pieces make up the right hand side.
