Original vintage ticking light blue and white with a Versailles motif. A hidden story of romance among gardens. It is a European damask fabric from around 1930. This textile, recovered and freshly washed, was part of a mattress cover. This fabric is made of heavy cotton. The designs recall drawings and patterns of French fabrics such as The Toile de Jouy and the Indianas. It is especially soft and bright.
ROSARIO SAYS: "In my opinion, this fabric looks better than if it were new"
