Textiles are an important part of any interior, but one that is frequently overlooked in restorations. See how the author, Brian Coleman, uses vintage Victorian textiles to create a rich and inviting atmosphere. Period textiles on everything from Victorian footstools to portieres are given an inspiring display in the elegant photography by Linda Svendsen. A helpful description of the varied uses to which different textiles were put in the Victorian home will encourage readers to use authentic fabrics. Advice on the care and conservation of vintage textiles and a guide to establishing values is most useful to those seeking to purchase vintage Victorian textiles today. For designers and collectors alike, this is a feast for the eyes and a prod for authenticity.
Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From Library Journal
The West Coast editor for Old House Interiors magazine, Coleman here reviews the use of vintage textiles from the 19th and early 20th centuries in domestic interiors. Filled with photographs showing how he has used vintage fabrics in his own home, the book explains the use of fabric in Victorian interiors and offers suggestions on how to re-create the look. Care advice and resources for fabrics are included, but, unfortunately, the minimal text contains scant historical information. For large interior design collections.
