Fabric Description:  Lightweight meisen silk, slightly translucent,  is estimated from the 1930s-1950s; Meisen is defined literally as 'common silk stuff'; and has grown in popularity in the last few years; Meisen from that period are usually larger bold patterns, with a fuzzy look to designs, and bright colors, but this one, however, is a solid gray background with various sized (largest is 2inches / 5.08cm X 1.5 inches / 38.1mm} black rectangles with what look like slim hourglass shapes within, using orange-reds, whites, and silver-grays.

Note on colors: As all devices have different colorations and contrast, please use our text descriptions of colors to complement your sense of the color of the fabric.
