Hello & Welcome to the Textile Trunk! Please follow us on Instagram! ~ We are @textiletrunk This antique fabric is a commemorative Mexican American War design printed in the USA or perhaps Britain, circa 1848. This remarkably rare & wonderful antique fabric depicts a scene from the early part of the Mexican American war (April 25, 1846 - February 3, 1848), specifically the battle of Resaca de la Palma. The image as a whole was taken from three Currier & Ives lithographs; The Brilliant Charge of Cap't May at the Battle of Resaca de la Palma 9th May 1846, Gen'l Taylor at the Battle of Resaca de la Palma, & Cap'n May Receiving his Orders to Charge the Mexican Batteries May 9th 1846. This stunning pattern was hand block printed on cotton & then glazed. The quality in the printing of this antique fabric is absolutely stunning! A truly rare, limited, original print in a gorgeous timeworn frame! This beautiful & completely original, authentic piece is ready to hang in celebration of the quality & history of antique textiles! I've framed this wonderful antique toile fabric in a timeworn antique frame to showcase the beauty & quality of this piece, but also to preserve these kinds of rare (and getting rarer) textiles for the future. I've fallen head over heals for this new framing adventure. in this new collection I've hunted high & low for JUST the right antique frame & combed through my collection of many thousands of rare textiles to find just the right pattern for each frame. The fabric is mounted & the frame is backed in acid free paper. Modern hardware was added for easy hanging. Each has information about the framed fabric on the backing. These one of a kind creations are the perfect way to add antique charm & a story to any interior. They also make the perfect gift for any textile, or American history lover. Sophisticated & 100% unique, an heirloom in the making.
