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.
