A rare print from a boutique fabric house of the 1960s, this piece, “Bower,” is notable for being laid out on the horizontal. The selvage-to-selvage distance here is ACTUALLY its length, while yardage is cut on the horizontal. This makes it ideal for reupholstering a couch with a continual canvas, rather than with seaming the design.

It’s a riotous 1960s screen print where chartreuse lovers only need apply. I can just see it now in Ann Marie’s apartment on “That Girl!”

A fabulous mid-weight linen with a texture that almost reads like a stiff barkcloth. Excellent for café curtains, pillow fronts, a cottage chic piece of furniture, message boards, tote bags or other fun projects. Perfect for a naturalist’s cabin or decor, superior find for period movie or TV show sets, or for doing a period room or restaurant.

This much yardage in this kind of weave and print is a vintage rarity.

Selvedge reads “Bower, an Authentic Screenprint Design Copyright Golding Upholstery Fabrics, Div. of W. R. Grace Co.”

FIBER: Linen or linen/cotton blend.

COLORS: On a cornsilk or celadon background are intense chartreuse, deep olive green, black, white, warm chocolate brown, and amber brown.

SIZE: 55″ long x 1 yard horizontal lengths with up to 19 yards available. Discount of $150 when buying the entire 19-yard piece. Convo me to set up a special order for that (cannot be combined with a coupon). Flowers range from .75″ – 4″; Birds are roughly 10″; fruit is 1.5″-3″.

CONDITION: Superior new old stock. Mint!

MAKER: Golding Upholstery Fabrics is an American company that began in 1947 in New York. My research hasn’t revealed a lot about them but I beleive they aimed to create finer fabrics for a middle American market, perhaps on a budget. They are now held by P. Kaufmann Fabrics.

When I visit #historichouses I am, of course, part When I visit #historichouses I am, of course, particularly interested in the fabrics and textiles. These shots are of some drapes, carpeting, and #wallpaper from the @grantcottage, where General (and President) Ulysses S. Grant lived out his final months and finished his widely-hailed #memoirs. Visit it in New York outside of Saratoga Springs. 

Isn’t that black #sunflower — or is it #chrysanthemum — pattern on the drapes amazing? And the one wallpaper looks like a #williammorris design. None of the items in the house are #reproductions — they’re all exactly as they were in 1885, perfectly preserved history.
