Vintage Late 1960s Sanderson Fabric 5.94 Metres Fine CottonPeacock Bird Foliage For Sale

This stunning textile was created directly by the artists within the prestigious Sanderson Design Studio during the late 1960s to early 1970s. During this era, British interiors moved away from small, subtle florals toward bold, large-scale maximalist prints heavily inspired by exotic travel and historical Chinoiserie tapestries.The \"Registered Design Pending\" text printed on the selvedge is a highly significant historical timestamp. It proves that this specific piece comes from the very first, limited run of the fabric. Sanderson rushed this vibrant bird-and-foliage print to the mills to meet market demand before the official UK Patent and Design Registration Office could finalize their paperwork. On all subsequent print runs, this \"pending\" text was removed and replaced with a permanent registration number, making this particular first-edition piece a rare find for textile historians and vintage collectors.Visual Design:
