Comments

Good to copy or as a sample. This was bought in Holland where it is called grein and was used for skirts. In the Symbuts sample book in the Fries Museum in The Netherlands there are samples of stripes or grein along with damasks, plains and diamante designs with measurements in yards all exported from Norwich. Similar striped fabric appears on the sample acard from the Norwich Textiles website. I have two pieces the same size. Price quoted is for each.

I have a second piece of this.

Condition

Very good and lovely colours.
