Description
Antique Linen Cushion with turquoise blue stripes handcrafted with old flour sacks.
DOES NOT INCLUDE THE CUSHION PAD.
Linen sacks of grain were formerly used throughout Europe for their strength, durability, and functionality. Our old linen sacks of grain were used mainly for the storage of flour. The lands and properties were divided into several landowners. During the harvest, the wheat of each landowner was taken to the mill to produce flour. Each landowner or family used a different linen sack, differentiated by a signature on each sack. This signature was basically the play of colors, lines and thicknesses of each line of colors printed on each bag.
For this reason, each natural linen antique sack cushion is unique. Some old sacks have two narrow blue lines, others combine wide central lines with narrow lines, other vintage cushions have lines in the center and on the sides; and so we could say there are endless combinations for each vintage turquoise blue striped antique linen cushion .
They match perfectly with more natural linen cushions and with the wabisabi style of our antique stools and old benches .
