Beautiful vintage mattress fabric (ticking) with beige and blue stripes with thin lines in white and yellow. It is a European twill from around 1950. This piece, recovered and recently washed, was part of a mattress cover. It is a medium weight cotton fabric. The herringbone weave reinforces visual linearity and at the same time makes it very consistent. A sober and cheerful fabric at the same time.

ROSARIO SAYS: “It's amazing how this herringbone has kept its texture firm and dense over the years”

Very few well-embroidered eyelets. On the back, they have a large fabric that supports the eyelets and with a light topstitching along the edge of this rectangle.
