Help ID vintage fabric

[Elisabeth Price]

I have this beautiful silk fabric that’s obviously vintage, but I’m no fabric expert so I’m not sure how to tell its age from the print method of whatever indicators experts might use. I’m trying envision what era the design corresponds to but honestly I’m stumped. Maybe the 50s? Or maybe it didn’t correspond to the style of the era in the first place??? The print doesn’t seem very likely to be for clothing but the weight could be.

thanks!

the first pic is of the front of the fabric.

Hi Elisabeth,

Pretty stuff you have there!

Can you say what scale the checks are? Are they 2 inches or large-scale etc.?

My first guess is that it is a woven check in red and white, with an overprint of fruit. It seems like an interior design print.

What is the width of the fabric from selvedge to selvedge?
