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. Lovely back patches!!

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

CONDITION
Ticking in good condition. Only minor wear consistent with age and history. Original color, some pale marks. The color of the fabrics (REC-RA-BEIGE-006) F, G, and H is practically identical. Well-embroidered eyelets with colorful patches on the back. The stitching holding these patches is irregular. This gives it a somewhat naive look, which is quite charming. Some light wear toward the sides. Special and unique!
