An 19th century French indigo blue on blue indigo resist dye cotton fabric. Roll/block print. Organic  motifs of potted flowers with leave that alternate with bands of small blossoms and leafy branches. I've seen this pattern several times but never this variation in blue on blue. 

 

Photos are a good representation of actual color.

 

Design and manufacturing credited to Adam Vidal (early 1700's). The city of Rouen became famous for these fabrics as well as Marseille & Nimes. 

 

Measurements

 

1 meter 22 cm top to bottom 

46 cm wide (still has part of the selvage along one side)

 

Condition

 

The fabric was lightly quilted at one time so you will see some quilt lines but nothing major. 

 

A larger hole to one side and one towards the end with the odd smaller hole here and there and a couple of thin areas which is mostly seen when held up to the light. Good size useable pieces but best suited for smaller projects, documentation of framing. Colors are good and strong and even. 

 

The fabric has been given a cold water wash  using those famous Marseille soaps without bleaching agents to remove built up dust and dirt. We try to delivery a clean and pressed product when possible but take care to preserve the color and integretity of the fabric
