Beautiful 1930s Delphiniums Fabric (tx1092)

An extremely rare and stunning vintage fabric. This cotton fabric dates to the 1930s and has an exquisite design of long stemmed delphiniums in shades of blue with a depth and beauty which really do take one's breath away. The fabric is a closely woven cotton and the design appears on both sides, seemingly as strong whichever side is displayed. The gentle painterly colours are divine and the purple daisies and large foliage add much to the design. The soft stone coloured background is the perfect foil for the many shades of blue, with darker areas showing a clever pattern of shadows cast by the tall blooms.

Delphiniums are a favourite in the cottage garden and were a popular choice of decoration in the 1930s. This exceptional fabric captures the richness of the blue flowers and the grace of this willowy plant in a style that echoes this long-ago decade. The fabric is two long lengths stitched together with a central, vertical join and measures approximately 60" (153cm) wide by 90" (229cm) long. The condition is excellent, one small wear hole which is hidden within the glorious pattern.
