Farmhouse Vintage grain sack European grainsack textiles linen fabric material

Description: ~ Hello and welcome to The Textile Trunk! ~ Please visit us on Instagram: @textiletrunk ~ We are so very lucky to have come across this wonderful, antique grain sack! This grain sack is a very rare find indeed! This sack is a regional textile in Europe (please search our store for the word European to see more of our European grain sacks) and was hand woven on a narrow loom! This textile uses fibers that would have been produced on the family farm, and they were woven by hand to be used for grain and olive harvest. This textile was distinctive, so each family hand their own particular stripe, color or even a stamp, so that the miller could return the sack once processed to the rightful family! ~*~Its important too for you to turn your sack inside out, because often whats on the inside is even more beautiful than the outside! This sack would make a stunning pillow simply by adding an insert and using the original tie to close! Fabulous too for upholstery projects, windows, pillow making, table runners ( simply unstitch the hand stitched edges to get one long piece). We like to open them out for larger upholster jobs by cutting up the middle of the sack, and then cutting along the bottom edge. This gives you one large piece, with two side seams for accents. This sack is a one of a kind, rare and beautiful textile that would add the perfect touch to any rustic interior or modern farmhouse! This sack would also be a great addition for any textile collection!

STRIPE COLOR(S): Chocolate brown, charcoal gray, and mulberry pink MEASUREMENTS: 20 inches wide by 31 inches long (its double sided, so if using for cutting there are 2 panels that measure this!) CIRCA AGE: late 18th or early 19th century MATERIAL: Linen and wool TEXTURE: This piece has a lovely texture! It is sturdy and nubby, just gorgeous. Great surface texture for adding texture to a room! (see photos) CONDITION: Ive left this sack in unwashed condition but it can be hand washed or dry cleaned ~ This sack may have many flaws from both time and use! Its important to use the photographs to view condition of the sack closely ~ These are aged and distressed ~ There are often stains, holes , mends, maybe some patches too! Signs of time and use are often inherent in these wonderful antiques , and this sack is no exception ~ This textile is perfect for anyone looking to add charm and character to any rustic or period interior! inv #: Etsy sack P2137 20220209
