Very rare vintage fabric in aged red and white with a medieval atmosphere motif. It is a European damask fabric from around 1950. This textile, recovered and freshly washed, was part of a mattress cover. This fabric is cotton. Large garlands of flowers surround the scenes: in one we see a knight's fight and in the other, the winner is declared to his lady who watches him from the window.
ROSARIO SAYS: "One of the most curious and rare designs I have found."
