A lady who owns the Alchymyst's Study blog buys regularly from Rag Rescue. Before Christmas she made the wonderful purse you can see below, for her friend.
I love the way she has used part of the French antique red toile on the front of the purse.
Today I have listed four more pieces of wonderful French antique red toile. Two have already been sold but the remaining two can be found at the
Early 19th century French Toile de Jouy fabric . Pallas and Venus design - Jan1
This is a wonderful red French Toile de Jouy fabric design, dating from
approximately 1806. The design is named 'Pallas et Venus' .
The stunning design, which is roller printed on cotton has rosettes in
the background with medallions of various shapes containing images of
putti, animals, Pallas the Greek name of the warrior goddess Minerva and
wreaths of roses, to name but a few.
Antique French red toile fabric - jan 4
A lovely vignette of a lady being entertained by a gentleman plating a
flute. The design also shows a park with a castle in the background and a
sheep in the foreground.
Probably early 20th century.
