Vintage French Ticking Fabric – Ecru & Taupe Mattress Stripe

Vintage French Ticking Fabric – Ecru & Taupe Mattress Stripe

£43.00

Textured, timeworn, and rich with quiet charm—this authentic vintage toile de matelas fabric dates from the 1920s to 1940s, and once lined a French mattress. The colourway is a soft ecru and taupe herringbone stripe—beautifully muted with age and full of rustic elegance.

You’ll still find original threads along the edge, where the fabric was once stitched directly to the mattress—a tactile trace of its domestic history. The fabric has a medium to heavy weight and is softened from use. Expect natural irregularities: worn sections, age spots, seams, and raw edges that only add to its patina.

Perfect for slow stitching, textile repair, rustic upholstery, patchwork or styling, this cloth offers both beauty and provenance—a true workhorse with soul.
