Extraordinary and very rare vintage ticking in soft pink color. 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 made of cotton. It is such a special fabric that it deserves to be part of a space on the walls of our house. The motif is seagulls of very different sizes that fly over the entire sky represented.
It is a unique piece.

ROSARIO SAYS: “The pink thread (warp) has suffered and has worn out in a capricious way, achieving a wonderful effect. Time has given it an incredible color patina "
