Description from the seller

Design description
This charming cotton upholstery fabric is decorated with a pattern of ancient maps with irresistible charm. The design depicts historic globes surrounded by compass roses, fantastic sea creatures, and sailing ships that seem to traverse the oceans. The delicate colors, with cream tones, ochre, and accents of dusty blue, evoke time-worn parchments, while the fine cartographic details catch the eye and transport you to eras of great explorations.
The fabric, made from sturdy cotton, combines the essential durability for upholstery with a soft touch surface and vibrant color rendering that highlights the fine details of ancient maps. It is ideal for interior design projects that require a touch of vintage elegance and a distinctive theme.
Perfect for upholstering armchairs, cushions, benches, bed headboards, or creating striking curtains in studios, libraries, lounges, and venues with a classic or eclectic style. It is also suitable for decorative covers on boats, yachts, or nautical-themed environments.
It is said that the first world maps similar to those depicted on this fabric were handcrafted on sheep skins or parchment and were considered treasures to be jealously guarded by captains and cartographers of European courts. Some scholars believe that these maps contain signals of mysterious lands never discovered, fueling legends for centuries about lost civilizations and secret routes to incalculable riches. Using a fabric with such a design means bringing a fragment of these stories of adventure and discovery into your home.

Measurements: 5.00x1.40 meters.

The fabric colors shown in the photos may vary slightly from the actual color, depending on the device you are using to view it.

Washing and Care:

To maintain the beauty and quality of your fine fabric over time, it is important to follow some simple care instructions:

Washing: It is recommended to wash the fabric by hand or in a washing machine on a gentle cycle at a maximum temperature of 30°C. Use a mild detergent free of harsh bleaches to preserve the vibrant colors.

Drying: Avoid the tumble dryer to prevent compromising the fabric fibers. Hang the fabric outdoors, avoiding prolonged direct exposure to sunlight, which could fade the colors.

Ironing: Iron the fabric at a low temperature, preferably with a cotton cloth on top, to avoid direct contact with the iron and to keep the surface of the fabric impeccable.

Professional cleaning: If used on furniture coverings or large surfaces, professional dry cleaning is recommended for safer and more durable maintenance.

By following these simple guidelines, your fabric will maintain its shine and integrity over time, continuing to enhance your spaces with class and refinement.
