Just a little more discussion on colorful printed fabrics – today we look at a couple patterns each from Brunschwig et Fils and Quadrille.
Brunschwig et Fils Fabrics & Quadrille Fabrics
I just had to include a few below from these two fabric houses.
The top two fabrics, shown in full widths, are from one of the oldest US Fabric Houses, Brunschwig et Fils. On the left is Fabriano print on white which meanders over the cotton and linen fabric with stylized leaves that hint at an 18th Rococo design genesis. On the right is Les Touches in pink – in French, The Touch as in the touch of a paint brush.
Quadrille,Uzbek is on the chair above and, in the photo to the right from Country Living, the headboards are covered in Quadrille Kazak in orange pink on white. I love its graphic quality and the surprise element it adds to the room.
Check back in another week to see how printed fabrics are made and why there are significant price differences from a print you might see at local sewing shop to these I have featured. I’ll include more beautiful images of fabrics you will rarely find at retail unless you live in a major urban area. Fabrics such as these are sold primarily “To-The-Trade” through the manufacturer’s designated representatives.
