AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Splendid cut measuring 4.5 x 1.40 m.
The fabric is a sumptuous artisanal piece from a Brianzan manufacturing company, suitable for
- interior furnishings
- draping and
- for creative hands in garment construction

The fabric comes from the historic San Leucio manufactory, founded in 1789 by Ferdinand IV of Bourbon near Caserta. This royal manufactory became famous throughout Europe for producing precious fabrics, especially silks and high-quality cottons destined for European courts. The checkered embossing technique represents one of the distinctive processes of the Campanian textile tradition, where skilled artisans created three-dimensional effects through pressing and heat treatment.

This fabric is particularly sought after by collectors of Italian historical fabrics, restorers of historic houses, and enthusiasts of traditional Campanian textile craftsmanship. The San Leucio manufactory represents a UNESCO World Heritage site, and its fabrics are considered precious testimonies of Italian manufacturing excellence. "Cotone Sontuoso" is appreciated for its sober elegance and the quality of artisanal work, making it ideal for conservative restoration projects and for prestigious vintage fabric collections.
