VERY RARE Antique Fabric | Sky Blue Nursery Ticking | Home Decor Upholstery | 1920-1930 | Antique Pillows | Mattress hot Ticking

Beautiful vintage mattress fabric (ticking) in sky blue color. It is a European damask fabric from the 1900s. This piece, recovered and freshly washed, was part of a mattress cover. These fabrics are cotton, medium weight and resistant (but very soft!). Perfect textile for small decorative projects, appliques, toiletry bags, cushions, etc.

Designs of children's toys or animals flutter on a pale blue sateen background. The designs are simple compared to other fabrics in our store. It is the only fabric with a children's character of the many that we know. Hence its rarity.

Rosario says: "This fabric has me fascinated by such a tender and unusual motif"

MEASUREMENTS: 124 x 62 cm. ( 48 x 24 in. )

I have other pieces - larger and smaller - of this fabric. Send us a message if you need something other than what is listed in the store.

CONDITION:
Good condition. Minor wear consistent with age and history. Original color. Slightly worn eyelets. One intact selvage. An exceptional piece. Very tender and incredibly rare scene!

HISTORY OF TICKING FABRICS: This type of fabrics were used to make mattress covers since 1880. It is a very durable and resistant fabric but at the same time absorbent and breathable. The motifs used are very varied: floral, oriental, country, palatial, or striped and the colors very bright. These fabrics were produced from 1882 to 1980 in the Area of Igualada, known for its textile industry. 

We have a collection of 200+ ticking fabrics that include old never used stock and recovered pieces from antique mattresses. They're unique fabrics. They really are the last ticking fabrics with such genuine and unique characteristics in Europe.
