Beautiful vintage ticking in Mermaid Blue color. It is a European damask fabric from around the 1960s. This textile, recovered and freshly washed, was part of a mattress cover. This fabric is heavy cotton. Perfect textile for upholstery projects that require a strong fabric. The slightly baroque pattern with garlands made up of three large feathers and a flower crown that contains a friendly swan inside.
ROSARIO SAYS: “Despite being a somewhat busy pattern, its distribution across the fabric, leaving empty spaces, makes this textile beautiful. And very useful for backs or seats of chairs.”
