Vintage Parisian scenic print fabric with a smooth, lightweight satin-like feel and a fabulous pale aqua blue ground. Believed to date from the 1950s, the design features colourful illustrated scenes of Paris, including the Eiffel Tower, leafy boulevards, elegant buildings, fountains, horse-drawn carriages and tiny figures strolling through the city. The main Parisian scene forms a decorative border print, becoming much more densely detailed towards one edge, while smaller individual motifs are scattered across the remaining aqua ground. A really unusual piece for dressmaking, cushions, accessories, lampshades, textile art or other vintage sewing projects, particularly where the scenic border can become a feature of the finished piece.
Sold as seen - please see also photos for detailed visual description. A section has previously been cut from one side (as shown). The measurements have been taken excluding this cut-out section, rather than representing the maximum overall dimensions of the irregular piece. Approx. 68" wide x 45" long at its main usable dimensions (approx. 173 x 114 cm)
