That is, there is a shiny coating that gives the fabric a glow… a sheen. Nonetheless ask the seller to make sure. There are 8 yards of fabric nonetheless accessible — nonetheless initially, there have been 50 yards. Can you take into consideration!
The seller suggests this stash was manufactured c. 1952-1953. If the enterprise can take care of it — like in my office — I don’t trim the printing that edges the wallpaper. I want to see the printing!
The determine of this Waverly pattern is “Hearthstone”. It’s vitally very typical of the postwar interval, I’d say. Small densely colored prints — lovely!
