Next door to one of the world’s best purveyors of period fabrics, Kathleen Taylor’s proximity cannot help but influence us. In fact, we frequently adorn our pieces with cushions made from her period textiles.
We try, though, to use period appropriate new fabrics wherever possible, and that doesn’t mean ‘olde English’ needlework more redolent of grandmother’s 1930’s vintage parlour than anything known in the 18th century. While you would have gathered from my earlier blog that we might be unable to use Fortuny, we do nevertheless find ourselves using Colony from time to time, and although briefly absent, we are happy to see that in San Francisco, they are now represented by Shears and Windows.
