Antique Swedish ticking in a very rare combination of colors. It is made of cotton and linen. With a marled pattern, which is very unique. The fabric has a combination of straight and twill (herringbone) weave. A beautiful antique detail. A very old fabric, had been completely hand-sewn. So rare and lovely!
