[QUOTE="bluemoon, post: 195358, member: 1296"]I lost my mind at least for a few minutes at the flea market today and bought something that I neither need or adore. Colours are dangerous, that's why I bought it, because of the colours. It's hand-stitched and the main fabric is assumingly dark green wool. Not sure what the lining is. In the back there is a less-faded stripe at the edge of the lining. Not sure why. It's long and narrow and resembles stylistically some art-nouveau era embroidered wool pillows I've seen. It was sold as a "door curtain" I paid 40$ :arghh: instant regret. Please tell me something about this. What sort of households had these things back in the day? :grumpy: [ATTACH=full]55444[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]55445[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]55446[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]55447[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
