ROSARIO SAYS: "It is a real find to have found this complete cover so precious in an unbeatable condition. Never used!!".
MEASUREMENTS
This fabric is a whole cover of 114 × 188 cm (45" × 75") on each side. The complete piece that could be achieved, if the cover is opened, is 114 × 376 cm. (45" × 150") as it's made like a sack. One of a kind.
CONDITION
Excellent condition. It has some pale markings on the lower half. Otherwise, the piece is perfect! The width is made up of two long strips joined in the center, indicating that it was made on a narrow loom. This usually indicates the age of the fabric. It retains the original natural leather reinforcement corners. An ancient and delicious detail! Exceptional and extremely rare! It is found as it was found, unwashed and unused. A real wonder!
