Wall panels and draperies are effective uses for this Schumacher damask 
nAn old Italian velvet suggested 
the design Jor this damasks 
ago the velvet weavers of Italy 
produced fabrics which are still unsurpassed 
for beauty of design. No motif seemed too 
intricate, too lavish for these Italian artists. 
Today the designer finds these rare pieces 
a great source of inspiration to guide him 
in determining the patterns for modern decorative fabrics. 
This Schumacher damask was inspired by one of the old 
Italian velvets of the Renaissance period. In executing the 
design for this damask the modern processes used give it 
unusual qualities. It is the correct weight for hangings and 
because it is reversible requires no lining. Its texture is strong 
and durable, permitting its use for furniture and wall coverings 
as well as hangings. This damask may be had in several 
different colors—each absolutely sunfast. 
Your own decorator or upholsterer will make arrangements

illustrated here. He will also arrange the purchase for you.
