Imagine looking through textiles we have bought & stored for years in our Rummage room full of treasures,and finding the very same piece of Antique Toile de Jouy that we have a reproduction piece of, on our Auction site! The chances of that are quite remote don't you think?! The Original is unfortunately just a small remnant-seemingly once perhaps used as a piece of a curtain but is much more detailed than its' modern adaptation-which of course is lovely-as these fabrics are,but still not QUITE the same....the many delightful scenes featuring Children and water in such a small area of Fabric render it quite a collectable and interesting piece and it dates circa.early 19th Century...it is now online for your Perusal!........
