Antique "Centurion" Toile Fragment
Sale Price:$200.00 Original Price:$350.00
I believe this fragment was once part of a bedcover. It measures 31" by 30". The lower edge is scalloped. The upper, lower and right edges are finished, the left is not. I do not know the proper name of this toile nor its origin. I believe it to be early 1800's and probably French. The scenes in this toile have what I believe are Roman soldiers or centurions. It is in good condition for its age. The red is what I would call a warm raspberry tone. It is backed with a light linen, probably homespun, and is lightly quilted to the front.
