A lightweight upholstery fabric with concentric irregular circles in various shapes, sizes, and weave patterns covering the surface in a seemingly random way. The design is in two colors and intermixtures of these two: grey and white. The warps are of untwisted dark grey-brown. The wefts are grey and cream. Both appear to be patterning wefts as well as structural wefts (?) and both wefts appear in the woven and cut selvage. Other ends cut. No inscription.
