~*~ Welcome to the Textile Trunk! Please follow us on Instagram @textiletrunk ~*~ Very rare Victorian fabric sample book from Ballantynes of Walkerburn. Difficult to count, there are approximately 75 pages of squares and samples of woven fabric kept, presumably, as a reference record of the many different types and styles of cloth produced by this long defunct Scottish Borders textile mill. There are letters from London, from the various men's wear stores and tailors, with many fascinating technical designers notes and specifications. This is one of the best I've ever found. Many many hundreds of samples of fabric, too many to count. The letters are placing orders and also changing weights, tones etc of the samples of fabric. This is a unique document of history, I simply can't believe it survived at all. Ideal for research and design inspiration ~ MEASUREMENTS : This book measures approximately 18 inches by 11 inches closed. Condition. This book is missing the front of the book and the back is loose, not attached to the papers. and the pages have some damage. It's not in pristine condition, but it's a rare and historical item, amazing it survived at all! ~ Please see photographs to see the condition ~ This book is not about the condition it was found in, rather the historical information contained within it ~ Inventory : Paper

About This is a beautiful and historic fabric sample book dated from 1835 (as can be seen on the front cover), which was produced by Dollfus Mieg and Company who became known as DMC, one of the biggest textile companies in France in the 19th century located in Mulhouse. The book contains 110 pages, most of which include anything from 10 to 25 fabric samples. As well as being a piece of history from the fabric industry there can be no problems with copyright due to the age and therefore the designs could be used for modern day fashion and fabric design.

Sample size is approx. 20cm x 20cm Choose between linen Cotton Sample or Velvet Shimmer Sample. A luxurious fabric for high quality interiors. This William Morris style fabric is hand illustrated by April and is inspired by the poisonous Hemlock found growing near her studio. Surrounded by ancient lore and magic tradition - this deadly plant's purple blotchy stem signifies that it is more sinister than it seems. Inspired by the abundant greens of Spring's lush foliage, this colourway features a dark green base with details in a perfect palette of greens, blues, soft yellows and rust reds. Information including design repeat and fabric dimensions are printed on the label. Repeat Pattern Scale: 44.33cm (w) x 31.68cm (h) For scale, please refer to the image of the pattern which represents 1m of fabric. There is a pattern overlap of 1cm on each side of the design (on the selvedge edge). This is to allow for pattern matching and hemming, (should several widths need to be joined to make extra wide curtains.)

Sampling It is strongly advised to order a sample before ordering by the metre to ensure you are happy with the colour and weight of the fabric. Please see separate listings to order a sample. *Please note that the samples are pre-printed & pre-cut. Purchasing more than one sample, does not create a continual length or repeating pattern. For example, if you order 2 samples, you will get two separate 20cm x 20cm samples, mounted onto card. *Image shown does not always represent the area of the fabric you will receive.
