Very rare vintage ticking in sky blue color. It is a European damask fabric from the mid-1900s. With a pattern of large linked white flowers. This textile, recovered and recently washed, was part of a mattress cover. This fabric is made of cotton, light in weight, it is very moldable. Large garlands of white flowers frame Dutch windmills.

ROSARIO SAYS: "I am fascinated by the use of such varied cultural elements for our old tickings."
