~*~Hello and thank you for looking~*~

Gorgeous, and very rare indeed! ~ white stripes!! ~*~ This wonderful textile is STUNNING ~ it is an antique , hand-woven hemp mattress cover dating from the late 1800's or very early 1900's. It would have been stuffed with straw or corn fodder and topped with a feather mattress cover for bedding ~ it is GORGEOUS, one of the most high quality textiles imaginable. The stripe that runs the width of the panels is white, truly breathtaking~ This textile is hand woven using a beautiful herringbone weave. The tone of the ground is a gorgeous pale, warm natural tone. Very very heavy weight ( this textile weighs over 5 pounds ). The texture is extraordinary, lovely and soft, wonderful floppy, heavy hemp. This textile is constructed like a very large sack. So, each side is machine stitched with a hem and there is a seam that runs down the center of this textile on each side. The top is open for stuffing ~ These textiles make beautiful bed covers, duvet covers and are lovely also for upholstery projects. I like to stuff mine with a feather comforter and keep at the base of my bed , pulling up on chilly nights ~ very very high quality, stunning textile. ~~*~ ( COVER W98)

This matress cover measures approximately 77 inches long by 39inches wide ~*~ but of course it is either twice as long or twice as wide, depending on how it is opened out if being used for fabric~*~

CONDITION: this lovely cover is freshly laundered and ready to use. STUNNING condition ~

Please email me if condition is vital to your purchase and we can discuss condition in detail. When describing my textiles, I use my best judgment, knowledge and experience to estimate their age. I have had many years of research and hands on experience with these wonderful textiles. I describe items as Antique if I estimate the age to be 100 years of age or greater. EBay currently define an antique as dating to 1930 or earlier. I describe items as Vintage, as per the dictionary definition, if I feel the textile has age, or is outdated or old-fashioned, dating from the past. If I use both Antique/Vintage when describing a textile, it is because I feel the textile is most likely 100 years of age or greater, but may fall just short of that date. I often work in collaboration with other colleagues and textile specialists to ascertain the approximate age of my textiles, however ultimately any statement of age is a matter of best judgment only~*~I also use my best professional judgment to ascertain the fiber content of my textiles, using sight and feel and where possible historical information and context to help me to identify plants used in a particular era. However, because my textiles are old, any statement of fiber content is again always only my best professional assessment. ~*~ I feel privileged and honored to bring these textiles to you, I sincerely thank you for your interest ~*~
