Great collection. I’ve seen most of these before, still great textures.
I have a serious addiction to textures, and you just satisfied my jonesing for the day. I’m in love with these – especially the victorian inspirations – and on the lookout for a client who will let me use them.
I actually haven’t seen lots of these so thank you very much for this collection. Totally love it!

I love using some of this artwork in my 3D renderings. Especially with “aged” materials.
I absolutely love vintage textures/patterns – thanks for this!
Umm, haven’t seen this collection in awhile…
