Glorious Antique French Ribbon Swatch Sample Card primitive kitchen box with two sides street sideThis one makes me want to spend all my time searching for antique French ribbon samplers I do believe it is about the most perfectly beautiful thing I've seen or can imagine, a dream in color. Photos give a good sense, silk ribbon, glorious color, handwritten numbers next to each sample, and stamped Clavel and Cie. at upper right. Earlyish 20th c. I believe. 13 15 16" x 10 1 4" open (and why would yopu ever want to close it?!) Very good condition,
