Vintage French Ticking Stripe Pillow 1

Hardwearing and always in style, French ticking fabrics are a perennial go-to. This small throw pillow is made from an antique 19th-century textile, sourced abroad and originally used as a mattress cover. Though its origins may be humble and utilitarian, ticking is perhaps best known for its more sophisticated uses, like decorating Napoleon's campaign tent and taking a starring role in luxe country-house interiors the world over. Classic yet fresh, soft yet durable, you can't go wrong with these iconic stripes.

This one-of-a-kind pillow is double-sided with a down and feather insert. This 19th-century fabric has some wear on one of its faces, please see our detailed photos.
