Researching an old fabric - any experts out there?!

I posted in Culture vultures but was redirected over here

Got a piece of Liberty fabric, which is called 'Carnation' and is black with large bunches of red/pink flars on.

It's gorgeous but I can't find it mentioned anywhere and would love to know how old it is.

Can anyone help please?

TIA

Thanks, I have emailed her to ask if she has heard of it.

Not sure whether any of the tips here can help date it.

Wow Jackie, what a page!!

It's newer then - it's about 48 wide. It does feel newer I have to admit. Just not sure how new because I can't find it listed anywhere.

Oh well! Bookmarked that page anyway

If its a Liberty print why not contact them direct?

My MIL has something similar sounding in her house. Think it's liberty, What are you trying to find out?

Thankyou for the link, I will email them later. I suppose I always like to know the age and history of things...especially fabrics etc.
I will ask them when it was produced and who designed it.
Sorry if it sounds weird, I am a strange person probably!

I'm still trying to find out about some Pirate curtains I had as a child, never seen any like them again

Sorry, it's not the same print.
Good luck though.
