Extraordinary and very rare vintage lilac ticking. It is a European damask fabric from around 1930 or earlier. This textile, recovered and recently washed, was part of a mattress cover. This fabric is made of cotton. Or perhaps to use as a tapestry on the wall. In this fabric the pattern is unique. A single complete drawing per panel. The elements are repeated in the four parts symmetrically. Pigeons and other birds and flowers intermingle
It is a unique piece.

ROSARIO SAYS: “It's an extraordinary piece. It deserves to be left uncut, like a tapestry. "
