"OICHLY ornamented with motifs in colors—often in 
gold or silver threads—silk brocades reflect the de¬ 
velopment of design from the IXth and Xth Centuries 
down to the present day. For hundreds of years they have 
recorded the designs characteristic of the important 
artistic periods. 
The beautiful Schumacher brocade illustrated here was 
suggested by three rare brocades woven in the William 
and Mary and Georgian Periods. Motifs from these three 
antique pieces now in the Metropolitan Museum of Art 
have been skillfully adapted, composed and woven to meet 
the modern requirements of interior decoration. 
The fine close weave and the superior quality of the silk 
make this Schumacher brocade an appropriate fabric for 
furniture coverings, wall coverings and hangings. There 
are other combinations of color, each exquisite. 
Your own decorator or upholsterer will make arrange¬ 
ments for you to see the Schumacher fabrics including the 
William and Mary brocade illustrated here. He will also 
arrange the purchase for you. F. Schumacher & Co.,
