A Length of Handsome Striped Cotton: Subtle Deep Green Details

early twentieth century
64" x 13 1/4", 162.5 cm x 35 cm

This is a length of hand loomed cotton that woven from hand spun yarns and was taken from a larger piece, a futon cover.  

The cotton is durable, and by its good condition it seems as if it was not used very hard during its lifetime.  Further evidence of this is its wonderful, still-intense coloration which is limited to a palette of three colors: very inky indigo, a velvety deep green, and a maize-tone.

A beautifully restrained color situation, this length of cotton is extremely handsome and durable.
