oulS XV 
The original brocade which inspired this exquisite fabric 
is now preserved in the Besselievre Collection. 
An achievement in modern textile weaving, this bro¬ 
cade is characteristic of the beauty and rare quality which 
distinguish Schumacher fabrics. It is appropriately used 
for hangings and furniture coverings in interiors reflecting 
the atmosphere of the transition period between Louis 
XIV and Louis XV. 
The artistic appreciation which characterizes the design¬ 
ing of Schumacher brocades and damasks and the skill 
with which they are woven places them among the finest 
fabrics of all time. In addition to brocades and damasks 
the Schumacher collection includes tapestries, velvets and 
interesting linen prints. 
Your own decorator or upholsterer will make arrange¬ 
ments for you to see the Schumacher fabrics including 
the brocade illustrated. He will also arrange the purchase 
for you.
