Italian Cotton Fabric “Santa Chiara”

100% Italian cotton fabric – Width 150 cm (59 inches)

This magnificent pure Italian cotton fabric is inspired by the unmistakable beauty of the majolica of the Church of Santa Chiara in Naples, a masterpiece of Baroque art and the Neapolitan ceramic tradition. With a width of 150 cm (59 inches), it offers a perfect base for a variety of textile creations, from table linens to curtains, from cushions to interior furnishings, up to any project that the imagination suggests.



The decorative motif is a tribute to the Neapolitan tradition, with a refined reproduction of the martonelle, the typical majolica tiles that adorn the cloister of the Monastery of Santa Chiara. The design is a harmonious interweaving of ornamental elements:
• A background of majolica in blue, ivory and gold, with floral and arabesque interweavings in a classic and timeless style.
• Richly decorated motifs in gold and deep blue, which recall the elegance and preciousness of hand-painted tiles.
• Ivory and white details, which give brightness and create a delicate contrast with the deeper shades.
• Lemon garlands with green leaves and white and pink flowers, which add a fresh and lively Mediterranean touch.

Side decorations

Along both edges of the fabric, two ornamental Greek patterns develop, which run along the entire length of the fabric. These border details are more intense and lively in color and in the richness of the decorations:
• Richly decorated bands in blue and gold, with elements typical of Neapolitan majolica.
• Golden and lush lemons, framed by green leaves and delicate flower buds, which stand out with their bright and sunny colours, creating a perfect frame for the central composition.

✔ Tablecloths and runners for tables with Mediterranean charm.
