Screen fabric: Les Gazelles Au Bois in Noir. This beautiful fabric is a cotton/rayon blend of twirling foliage and a leaping gazelle rendered in precious metal tones against a backdrop of ebony. This is a reproduction pattern from 1927 that once adorned the ballroom of the Waldorf Astoria in 1931. Also available in Ecru: a gold and silver with an ecru background.

Sofa fabric: Serengeti in Tigre Blanc. This reproduction fabric is an interpretive animal motif that combines luxury and glamour in one textile. This is a chenille of opulent texture that is ideal for upholstery in a viscose/poly blend. Also available in Tigre: a gold and brown mix.
