#67. Part A.     French Antique Panels c. 1880's with many openings / tears due to storage and age --however its very beautiful fabric and beautiful colors.  You could easily use this for upholstery, curtains or table cover and even pillows. 

Please see all my photos as they are part of my description and they show flaws and more information.  Regarding the 1st Panel being an "L" shape with many tears --due to age & storage --however if you can sew --you will be able to use this for many things.  The Size of the "L" shape is:  102" by 78".  The Fabric is Silk and linen and where it was folded throughout the years of storage --this is where the tears appear --as shown in photos. See the other large panel below these photos with description on other panel.

Part B:  2nd Panel:  This Panel having tears also and their are approx 8 or so I counted. The upper top is gathered  and this large piece is comprised of 3 beautiful panels in gorgeous colors of blues and rich golds.  Please Notice in photos how 2 of the panels show on right side  and the 3rd panel is reversed to the opposite side of the fabric. 

 This is due to being used for a Tester Bed in France where they reverse one side to wrap around the tester bed..  You can easily take the seam threads apart and reverse it back or use for something else.

Each panel has a gorgeous wide grand boarder which makes the appearance even richer when viewing. 

 This large piece measures:  80" at top Width by 12 ft 7" at Bottom which is extremely wide and being 7 ft 10 inches Tall.   

 The reverse panel which I just mentioned above is 4 ft 3 inches wide by itself.  The wide beautiful border design is approx. 7" wide on each panel.     The hem on this is extremely large  being a 10" Hem. I added on photos where I could see the small tears and also I added  a few pink flowers to point out the tears.  This French antique Drape is gorgeous in colors and much more in person. You can work around the tears by adding a liner/backing to and/or a small piece of similar fabric and hand stitch around each minor hole-- as I have seen this done much in France. 

Price for both panels:        355.

You can add more of your own if you wish or leave as it is which is just as beautiful. Tapestry is thick and really beautiful in person. Small roping at upper for hanging your hooks.   The huge number 1 panel, shown below,  could be separated into two panels due to the very large size.

All trim is intact on these and just beautiful!  The one panel does have a small soil mark that is barely noticeable in the side which is approx. 2 ft. long by 5" wide. Will not even notice this when hung.

Valances 1 & 2: The pair of matching valances are both lined and have never been used. They have been stored away. They are slightly lighter is color from the panels due to them being stored away and never used. All trim is intact and just beautiful on these as well.

#SEBM1. Antique French Embroidery table cover or throw.  Stunning vivid colours as shown--Silk and photos certainly describe this beauty. Colours of bright gold, sweet rose, blue, moss green, plus so many more to match just about anything. Circa 1700's and fragile yet remains of very vivid colours and exquisite hand embroidery.  This would be best to hang on a wall or framed. Outstanding workmanship with lining on backside. The lining on backside was placed later-- from late 1800's.  This does have splits at the background of the silk fabric which is only natural for its age.  Please see all my photos for further details. This also has  holes also shown in photos where the silk has worn due to age however this again is only natural for its age and only shows more of its rareness and authenticity. It seems that all the vivid colours in the hand embroidery is all intact and they are all Silk Thread Embroidery on Silk.. this is a extraordinary piece and something to really treasure. A showpiece in itself.
