Handcrafted Hungarian Pillowcase from Torocko

This captivating vintage pillowcase is a testament to Hungarian textile heritage, crafted by hand in the Torocko region of Transylvania. Owning a piece from this area is a unique privilege, as locals treasure their traditional textiles and rarely offer them for sale.

Estimated to be crafted between 1960 and 1980, the pillowcase remains in excellent condition. It exhibits some minor wear and tear, a whisper of its rich history, but boasts no significant flaws. This piece is a remarkable opportunity to own a piece of authentic Hungarian artistry and cultural tradition, a rare treasure that bridges generations and continents.
