O LD documents treasured in the Musee des 
Tissus de Lyon were the inspiration for 
the figured fabrics in this group. 
The originals were created during the reign 
of Louis XVI when the weavers of France were 
producing symmetrical forms of unrivalled 
beauty. 
The exquisite lampas in the center with the 
design in cream silk brocading on an old rose 
background is a worthy example of the modern 
weavers’ skill in reproducing choice old motifs. 
Used in charming combination with it, is the 
small figure brocade in a deeper shade of the 
same color. 
The third fabric is a Schumacher Taffeta. 
Unlike most taffetas this one gives almost end¬ 
less service. In the many years Schumacher 
Taffetas have been used, no instance of their 
splitting or cracking is known.

Schumacher owe their inspiration to old motifs

No matter what type of room you contemplate 
re-decorating, your own decorator can show 
you appropriate Schumacher fabrics, any ot 
which may be purchased through your decora¬ 
tor or upholsterer.
