Beautiful unused panel of mid to late 1800's. French silk. Clean, crisp tailored look. Striped in light grey and white. Probably intended for clothing since we have a bodice currently listed made from the same fabric. Great quality.

1 meter 13 cm 
 
The width is 
 
53.5 cm (still has the selvage at both sides) 
 
Condition
 
Left in "as found" condition and not laundered. 
 
Basically unused very good condition The silk was tacked to a piece of linen which we removed so you will see some tiny sewing pinholes at the sides. Nothing major. 
 
One tiny hole towards one corner. A couple of very tiny and very light age spots mostly the result of dust which should come up with a cold water soak. One small slight larger age spot at one side. 
 
Silk is very strong with no breaks or weak spots and very useable for sewing. 
 
Colors are good, strong and even. 
 
*if you would like to see how the silk has been used to make a late 1800's French bodice please check out our listing in the "clothing" category.
