Designer Upholstery Fabric Appraisal

Striped Upholstery Fabric

This item is a piece of upholstery fabric, likely intended for furniture like a sofa or cushion, given its prominent stripe pattern and visible thickness. The fabric features a repeating vertical stripe design in a muted earth-tone and cool-tone palette. The main colors visible are light blue, a warm medium brown, a lighter beige or cream, and a taupe or grayish-brown. Each stripe varies in texture; some stripes, particularly the light blue ones, have a ribbed or corded texture suggesting a raised pile or weave variation, possibly a corduroy or grosgrain effect. Other stripes appear flatter and smoother. The construction indicates a durable, woven material, possibly polyester, cotton blend, or a similar synthetic fiber designed for upholstery. There are no visible maker's marks, signatures, or stamps in the provided image. The edges of the fabric appear to be cut, suggesting it's either an off-cut, remnants, or part of an unfinished upholstery project. There are no obvious signs of significant wear, damage, or repairs, though the raw edges show some fraying consistent with being cut recently or not yet hemmed. The overall aesthetic suggests a modern to contemporary style, possibly from the late 20th to early 21st century, given the color combination and textured stripe design. The quality appears good, indicating a moderately robust and visually appealing textile suitable for interior decor applications.
