RESERVED For N. - Antique Fabric shops | VERY RARE Celestine Blue Ticking | Japanese Motif | 1920-1930 | Antique Pillows | Ticking

Very rare vintage ticking fabric in sky blue and white with a Japanese atmosphere motif. It is a European damask fabric from around 1950. This piece, recovered and freshly washed, was part of a mattress cover. This fabric is lightweight cotton. Perfect textile for upholstery projects, cushions, bags, etc. The designs recall shops the drawings and patterns of French fabrics such as the Toile de Jouy and the Indianas due to the arrangement of the pieces. The motifs are inspired by Japanese designs that influenced so much Art Nouveau and Chinoiserie that was so popular throughout the 18th, 19th and 20th centuries.

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.
