Superb vintage ticking in deep cobalt blue. It is a European damask fabric from around 1950 with a beautiful motif of large flower bouquets. This textile, recovered and recently washed, was part of a mattress cover. This extra soft cotton fabric is medium weight.
ROSARIO SAYS: “The ratio between the large size of the pattern and the solid color around it is perfect. It is not motley "
