Description

A set of four scraps of that come from Greeff’s unique “Document Hill Series III” of the 1980s, this piece, “Abbott House” 1980, # 60644 in the archive, depicts ornate birds perched in and among sumptuous woody flowering trees.

Vat colors with fabric printed in England for Warner & Sons. 100% cotton, sheeting type fabric, light hand, easy drape.

Nostalgic elegance marks the third ‘Document Hill’ Collection. The patterns derive from outstanding source material gathered in historic New England homes and museum collections abroad.

SIZE: Each of the four scraps is 13″ wide 5″ long. (Pic #6 shows what a full size piece of the fabric looks like and #7 the original tag, neither are included with this purchase).

FIBER: 100% cotton. Slightly thicker fabric perfect for sachets, appliqué, or for heavier weight quilts.

COLORS: Set includes Orange, Taupe, Black, and Mocha.

CONDITION: Superior! No cardboard or paper backing except a small easily-removed tag.

All sales in this section are FINAL SALE.

Maker: Greeff Fabrics, Inc was founded in the US by Theodore Greeff in 1933 to make a wide range of mostly traditional style interior fabrics and wallcoverings, grouped in collections, for high-end interior designers. Jackson’s book points to Marion Dorn, John Little, Dan Rasmassen, and Dagmar Wilson as key designers from the 1940s and after.

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.
