Very rare vintage ticking in light blue and white with an oriental atmosphere motif. It is a European damask fabric from around 1950. This textile, recovered and freshly washed, was part of a mattress cover. This fabric is made of cotton. The designs recall the drawings and patterns of French fabrics such as Toile de Jouy and Indianas due to the arrangement of the pieces. In this textile, the motifs are very original: horsemen in battle, dancers, camel riders, ... Arab architecture and palm trees frame the scenes.

ROSARIO SAYS: “Some cushions would turn out wonderful - we wouldn't get tired of looking at them! This fabric is a true sample of jacquard stitches marking the different textures of the lattices of the palaces.
