Antique Swedish ticking with stripes in pink and light olive green with narrow white lists. It has a very special ombre effect on the colors. It is very sturdy, medium weight cotton. The width is formed by two strips, which indicates that it was made on a narrow loom. Normally indicative of the antiquity of the textile. Very large and continuous piece! Extremely rare.
MEASUREMENTS
I am selling this textile per piece - each:
58 cm wide × 3.54 meters long (23" × 3.88 yards)
I have 2 pieces just like this, for a total of 7.08 meters (~7.74 yards) combined. Very beautiful and whole.
WHY IT’S SOLD THIS WAY
These textiles come from old cover textiles, traditionally woven on narrow handlooms. To achieve the desired width, two long strips were often joined in the middle. We carefully unpick these pieces, preserving both selvedges intact, to offer them as individual lengths. This gives you flexibility to purchase fabric in manageable widths while preserving the authenticity and larger fabric quantity.
CONDITION
Excellent condition. Only light wear consistent with age and history but has no structural issues. It has no tears or scuffs. Wonderful!
