The original fabric is a lining in a quilted blanket of light blue silk satin. The design is block printed in brownish black on medium fine white cotton. The style is typical of the “Gustavian” neoclassical era and can be dated to the 1780-ies or 90-ies. The quilted blanket once belonged to a family in Gothenburg. Probably the lining was printed in Sweden, possibly in Gothenburg, where cotton printing workshops are mentioned in archival sources from the end of the 18th century. The striped cotton prints imitated woven silks and were popular as furnishing fabrics, but were also used for clothing.
