We've carefully hand stitched this 19th century French cotton fabric sample to a hand written 19th century French letter. 
 
The fabric is a repeat block design with fan shaped leaves, and what looks like strawberries with a broken branch design in between. Reminds me very much of early Oberkampf. Colors are natrual red, grey, very light sage green against an off white background. 
 
Full repeat. 
 
Part of a unique collection of samples that we have been saving for documentation and reproduction work. 
 
Photos are a good indication of actual color and condition.
