Extraordinary and very rare vintage ticking frosted tulip pink. It is a European damask fabric from around 1930 or earlier. This textile, recovered and freshly washed, was part of a mattress cover. This fabric is made of medium weight cotton. In this fabric the pattern is unique. A single complete drawing per panel. Like a tapestry. The elements are repeated in all four parts symmetrically. Pigeons and other birds and flowers intermingle. It’s a unique piece.

ROSARIO SAYS: "It's an extraordinary piece. It deserves to be left uncut. The deteriorations can be restored and be part of the piece"
