Made by Natalia repurposing vintage jewellery elements and beads
Beautiful antique toile de Nantes from 1830’s make these two cushions. Possibly from the Faure and PetitPierre Manufacture. This fabric originally would most probably have been made as a furnishing fabric to decorate a bedroom scene and maybe hang on a four poster bed. The details of nature and the wedding scenes are so fine and elaborate.
Nantes (in the west of France ) became an important centre producing plate- printed cottons and also situated in a great place for export.
Many designs were based on engravings of well known artists and adapted to the times.
a couple of small little holes in the fabric consistent with age. The backing fabric is a mixes linen and cotton furnishing fabric in complementary colours.
