18th century Lyonnaise silk motif - Pattern 1 alice in wonderland

18th century Lyonnaise silk motif - Pattern 1 alice in wonderlandThese rare and exquisite pieces were salvaged from an old handmade spread that we sourced from France. Made from 18th or early 19th century "Lyonnaise" French silk, each square is unique the maker used different silk combinations in each one. They are antique and showing their age, but still beautiful and strong enough to frame and display. Our pricing reflects the condition.
