$295.00 USD

early to mid twentieth century
64" x 50", 162.5 cm x 127 cm

This is a very handsome, four panel, indigo dyed cotton futon cover that is beautifully studded with many cotton patches.

The futon cover is shown here inside-out so the patches can be seen. They are freely scattered all over the surface of the cloth, and interestingly, there is a good amount of patching clustered along on the edges of the futon cover.

This boro textile is in good condition however there is a faint stain on the cloth which is illustrated on the accompanying detail photographs.

The base cloth of woven, wide stripe is beautiful and could very well date to the late nineteenth century.

A beautiful boro futon cover.
