Attractive and old beige ticking with red and cream stripes along with thinner multicolored ones. It is a European twill fabric called cutí (or in French “coutil”) from the early 1900s. This textile, recovered and freshly washed, was part of a mattress cover. It is a medium weight cotton fabric. The herringbone weave reinforces visual linearity.

ROSARIO SAYS: “This fabric still has a lot of “living to do.” I love the contrast between the red striped areas and the delicacy of the other cream colored area and thin stripes.”

CONDITION

On the outside you can see the light seams of these ribbons. Some pale marks. The upper left area a bit more deteriorated, with some discoloration and pale marks. The rest is perfect. It is such a large and usable piece that I forgive these imperfections.
