A wonderful bundle of 3 antique, French ticking fabric pieces! RARE color combinations: latte ground with red, blue, black, white and a tiny bit of orange and olive green in the stripes! A classic French look! ~*~ The main, largest and in FABULOUS condition is the bottom piece, the other two are just for small projects! ~*~ ( please see below) They each date from c 1870-1890. This bundle is IDEAL for a pillow maker or upholstery project. The bottom piece is in stunning condition 4.3 yards long! and ! I'm selling this bundle at a lower price per piece as it's a bulk purchase! ~~ Someone that uses antique fabric and can work around all of the signs of time and use! These are all different shapes and sizes and different condition! So , ideal for someone with experience of working with antique fabrics ! I LOVE the way these tones all play off each other! Similar in some cases but not the same! This is ideal for say, pillows in the same area , where an eclectic , as found look is the goal! I use combinations like these in my own home, it gives a more collected / sourced look to an interior rather than off the shelf ! ~*~ They are each a heavy weight fabric, most are a linen and cotton mix. ! A wonderful stash for creative hands!! The main piece ( the bottom piece) is the framework and the other two are for extra fabric. The smaller of the two pieces were really just added to be useful, very little additional cost ! ~*~ Antique fabric can be very difficult to sell as the condition varies so much from piece to piece, however we offer a 30 day full refund policy as sometimes we know, it's important to see and touch textiles to know if they are right for your project! ~*~

*The Word ticking is derived from the Latin word for case, Tica. Ticking fabric was used for creating mattress, as the European bedding system of old, consisted of many layers of textiles stuffed with straw and fodder at the bottom, and topped with a dense denim ( ticking) for the top layers, stuffed with feathers. The fabric came to be known as denim, as Nimes , France was one of the great producers of this ticking fabric...denim ( de Nimes! ) ~ a wonderful fabric for many projects. A wonderful, historical fabric.
