Excellent and antique Finnish ticking with orange and blue stripes. It is a very dense twill to contain goose feathers and on the reverse it is slightly flannel like other textiles of the time. It is from the 1930s, as seen in The Finnish Labour Museum Werstas.

ROSARIO SAYS: “I love these colors that can be seen sober and bright at the same time. The treatment of the thread and the fabric give it a delicious shine, without losing the timeworn patina.”

MEASUREMENTS
I am selling this textile per piece - each:
53 cm wide × 3.80 meters long (21" × 4.16 yards).
I have 2 pieces just like this, for a total of 7.6 meters (~8.32 yards) combined. Glorious for larger projects.

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. Woven on a narrow loom. Normally indicative of the antiquity of the textile. Exceptional and extremely rare! Absolutely beautiful piece.
