VINTAGE BLACKS for PILLOWS

 

The 20" black barkcloth pillows I had listed on etsy are sold.

Here are some more wonderful vintage drapery blacks.

Enough of each for at least two pillows, and there is enough

of some of these fabrics for more than just two.

 

Let me know if you want further descriptions of any of the fabrics and close-ups. These are not all "barkcloth" but are all pre 1950.  Monkey loves black.
