CONDITION: Excellent!

MAKER: They were Johnson and Faulkner, fabric and textile importers who, in the early 19th century founded their firm and portmanteau’d their names into Jofa. Jofa was known for its rich and important fabric designs. Later, in the mid 20th century, in 1965, Arthur H. Lee & Sons merged with Jofa making it Lee Jofa. Both had always been in the high end manufacturing and textile trade, but with Lee’s innovative tapestry techniques, and Jofa’s extensive archive, they had a new way forward with these two important fabric houses. Lee Jofa is now held by Kravet.

1960s Jofa “Longwood” Linen Fabric Sample

$79.00

The operative word on this piece, “Longwood,” by Jofa, late 1960s, is “POPS!” The intense, classically navy blue background and the slightly nubbly linen texture of the surface combine to set the ground for the burnt orange, cranberry, rust and ivory flowers and leaf green and nutty brown foliage to pop off the textile surface. Primordial intensity to the illustrative quality of the sumptuous flora and foliage. It’s so beautiful — even more luscious in person than in the pics!

These gorgeous valances flew off to Utah this week These gorgeous valances flew off to Utah this week but never you fear — we have three others in the red colorway and scraps of what is shown in big enough pieces for pillows, dining chair seats, and more! Valances $329 ea w/ free shipping in the US. Find them in our #etsyshop Lady Virginia Vintage Fabrics. Link in bio. 

DETAILS: These are utterly gorgeous vintage 1990s custom-made cascading, six-paneled valances in a sumptuous 18th century style Chinoiserie fabric by Kravet titled "Regal Kyoto." The red ones are backed with a luscious sea foam green silk taffeta and trimmed with luxe braid and ball tassels in copper and silvery sage. 

These valances will grace any #grandmillennial or traditional space with stately aplomb! The maker is an amazing DIYer and home seamstress (among her many other talents) who used these in a secondary cottage on her property (and it was entirely non-smoking and pet-free). Impeccably rendered, these can be paired with solid curtains or shades or used on their own. Mounted on a simple wooden plank with bracket hardware (screws not included.) Our apologies that a door was the only place we could photograph these. 

SIZE: Each panel is mounted on a wood plank 38 & 5/8th" wide at the top and 5/8th" deep; Center motif comes down 11" (14" w/ fringe); side fabric cascades down at intervals — 23", 28", 35", 41", 49", 56.5". Expertly pattern matched.
