In Classic Fabrics Henrietta Spencer-Churchill shares her knowledge of the long history and art of decorating with fabrics, enabling anyone to recognize and use traditional textures and patterns to shape great rooms.

The first section of the book examines the history of fabrics, from medieval tapestries and eastern silks, to eighteenth-century Toile de Jouy and the latest innovations in synthetics. This is followed by a series of beautifully photographed rooms that show how textiles are used in the home for curtains and drapes, table linens and bedspreads, cushions and lampshades, and the more specialized canopies and awnings. The final section describes the textures, patterns, and weaves of cottons, linens, wool, silks, satins, velvets, damasks, jacquards, laces, and tapestries. Finishes such as felting, glazing, waterproofing, and moire are explained, and hundreds of fabric samples are reproduced.

Illustrated with over 200 vibrant color photographs, Classic Fabrics offers hundreds of inspirational ideas and practical tips.

From Library Journal:
In this extensively illustrated volume, Spencer-Churchill, who runs Woodstock Designs and is the author of Classic English Interiors (LJ 10/15/92), describes the historical and current use of fabrics in interior design. Proceeding room by room, she covers the use of fabrics in upholstery, window treatments, and wall coverings. The final section concentrates on the fabrics themselves with definitions as well as samples of each type of fabric discussed. A good, lavish visual sourcebook that will provide inspiration and education for those interested in fabrics for interior decoration.
