~ 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! ~*~ This sack has been machine washed and is ready to use ( please see condition details below ). 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) 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): Lovely, lovely pastel striping - pinks and pale blues, gorgeous!

MEASUREMENTS: Approximately 19 inches wide by 37 inches long (it's double sided, so if using for cutting there are 2 panels that measure this!)

CIRCA AGE: late 1700s-early 1800s

MATERIAL: Pure linen

TEXTURE: This piece is wonderfully floppy, soft, and smooth!

CONDITION: I've freshly laundered this sack and it's ready to use! This sack is in lovely condition indeed! There are a couple of very tiny holes as well as a few tiny marks. This sack was machine washed once; often the marks will become paler hotsell with time and use. This sack is not in pristine condition, and is a very primitive and rustic textile. This sack is perfect for anyone looking to add charm and character to any rustic or period interior!
