A Length of Handsomely Striped Cotton: Restrained Colors

late nineteenth, early twentieth century
60" x 13", 152.5 cm x 33 cm

This is a length of handsomely designed striped, hand woven cotton that was taken from a futon cover.

The design of the cloth relies on the two, identical columns of warp-based stripes, each one subtle and rich in the way they are colored and formatted. They are set against a "background" of deep indigo color.

The cloth itself is sturdy but used; the tones of color are still solid and fairly saturated. 

This is a very nice length of old cotton bedding material in good, strong, used condition.
