Wonderful vintage ticking in brick red. It is a European damask fabric from around 1940. With curious rhomboid garlands dotted with bouquets of flowers. This textile, recovered and recently washed, was part of a mattress cover. This fabric is made of strong cotton and at the same time extra soft. It is a resistant fabric with a beautiful drape. The sateen areas retain the brilliance of their origin.
ROSARIO SAYS: "Age has aged this color making it more beautiful"
