Antique Block Print Chinoiserie Panel Birds Flowers: C1930 France
Item Details.
This is a gorgeous chinoiserie block printed cotton chintz panel from the 1930's era. Bought in the South of France, it came from the linen cupboard of a chateau in Provence.
Made from a hand block printed chintz in a pretty chinoiserie design with birds and florals in soft pinks and yellows. The cover has been fully lined in a soft brushed cotton and is finished around the outer edges with a bright green binding.
The print has a magical ethereal & faded quality that modern designers try really hard to reproduce…..but this is The Real Thing!
The middle portion of the panel is paler than the side panels where the pattern is stronger.
Would make a lovely sofa throw, bedcurtains or cover.
Measurements.
225 x 241cm
Condition.
The condition is pretty good for a domestic textile from this era, it has a couple of historic mends and a lovely soft dreamy washed appearance.
