Wow - brilliant. Is it a curtain panel or just a length of fabric? I'm presuming there's no printed selvedge anywhere is there?

I've got a V&A book on 50s fabrics but it's not in it. To my eye there's a Tibor Reich feel about the motifs of knights (?) and horses but I really don't know.

I'm trying to persuade Richard, the fabric dealer I know, to join up but I don't think he's really fussed about message boards sadly.
