French Antique Textile Heaven

18th century Provencal fabrics, toiles, cut velvets, handmade 18th century boutis.

I could not believe my eyes. It was a museum.

Overwhelming.

A bedspread made of fine needlepoint suspenders. I had never ever seen anything like it. And never will. We not only did we have a private brocante for just the six of us, we also were able to see our friend's private collection and museum worthy pieces.
