Sold for £260

Fabric. A collection of French Ikat material, late 18th/early 19th century, seven pieces of soft linen/cotton with 'flamme' design in indigo blue and white, some fading, all with holes and period darns, largest two (composed of more than one piece and gathered at top edge) 165 x 115.5 cm (65 x 45.5 in), smallest 78 x 122 cm (30.75 x 48 in), together with 7 other items related, including: a hand-stitched curtain of French printed cotton, circa 1820, circular floral pattern in yellow on a blue ground, composed of two pieces, with central vertical seam, 13 brass curtain rings to top edge (one missing), lower edge hemmed, side edges raw, partially faded, some tears (mostly to edges), 174 x 140 cm (68.5 x 55 in); a hand-made curtain of late 18th/early 19th century fabric, composed of 3 joined pieces, with a vertical pattern of large flower sprays, in blue, cream, and black, on a red ground, 7 brass rings sewn to top edge, faded and some wear, 138 x 65 cm (54.25 x 25.5 in); and 4 pieces of early 19th century blue and white fabric, 71 x 41 cm (28 x 16 in) and smaller

(Qty: 14)

Ikat fabric was woven using a very complicated and labour intensive dyeing technique, therefore pieces were highly prized and those that survive often show signs of being carefully preserved and repurposed as they passed through the generations.
