Printed Paisley and Stripe Textile

This item is a rectangular piece of printed fabric, likely cotton or a cotton blend, exhibiting a repeating pattern. The dominant design is the classic paisley motif, arranged in vertical rows. Each paisley motif features a deep teal or dark blue center, surrounded by a border of chartreuse green or olive-yellow, outlined with a fine dark line. The paisleys are consistently oriented and spaced. Between these vertical rows of paisleys are narrower vertical stripes. These stripes appear to be dark grey or black with intricate, lighter-colored traditional patterns, possibly indicating block printing or another traditional textile printing method. The background color of the fabric is a light cream or off-white. The fabric appears to be folded, as evidenced by a prominent horizontal crease in the middle, suggesting it may have been stored or packaged in this manner. There are no immediately visible signs of significant wear, tears, stains, or repairs, though a full assessment of condition would require unfolding the piece. The overall craftsmanship seems to be of a good standard, with clear and consistent print registration. The style suggests it could be an antique or vintage piece, possibly dating from the late 19th through mid-20th century, given the traditional nature of the paisley and stripe patterns. It does not appear to have any visible maker's marks or signatures in the current view. The size cannot be precisely determined from the image, but it appears to be a substantial piece of fabric, perhaps intended for upholstery, drapery, or a large throw.
