This volume pictorially documents many of the outstanding textiles used in our homes from the 1930s to the present. Barkcloth, a type of cotton weave that is very dense as well as textured, was often used in draperies or slipcovers of the past. In recent years, barkcloth has enjoyed a renaissance. It can now be seen covering photo albums, hat boxes, vintage luggage, lampshades, purses, and pillows. More and more modern designers are using vintage barkcloth as inspiration for today's textiles.
With over 200 color photographs, this book showcases the beautiful array of patterns, colors, and motifs used in the barkcloth of the past. It is a valuable resource for designs, collectors, dealers, and anyone interested in collecting, restoring, and, most of all, enjoying these wonderful fabrics.
