Beautiful vintage ticking in dark blue color. It is a European damask fabric from around 1920. This textile, recovered and freshly washed, was part of a mattress cover. This fabric is cotton, medium weight and is very moldable. On a delicious damask fabric we see vegetable garlands, bouquets of roses and some friendly Cupids shoot their arrows.
ROSARIO SAYS: "A nice Cupid, symbol of love, very French “Rococo” style"
