Fellow textile people! Has anyone seen any fabric like this before? I’m thinking it’s furnishing fabric inspired by 18th-century Spitalfields silks, made in the late 19th or 20th centuries. I would appreciate any thoughts or leads. Thank you!

“Le debo esta pintura a Violeta. ”, nos comentó Boris Obregón, quien nos envió esta pintura inspirada en la canción “Arauco tiene una pena” y que además, fue un regalo para @GabrielBoric
