Discover Kensington Walk Design Book Kensington, West London, an idyllic escape from the intensity of city life. Famed for its town and country existence, museums and cosmopolitan vibe. Home to artists, looking for beauty and elegance, inspired by generations, capturing moments in time. This season Zoffany introduces a snapshot of Kensington life, expressed as three unique stories: Eastern Palace, Paradise Row and Artist’s House. Authentic subjects and experiences are represented in a range of exquisite fabrics and wallcoverings, each produced using the finest materials, artisan techniques and modern processes. With its richly pigmented and diverse palette, Zoffany’s Alchemy of Colour features throughout Kensington Walk and the entire Zoffany portfolio. The launch comprises 8 wallcoverings, 7 prints, 2 weaves and 1 embroidery.

A refined mix of transatlantic styles combine in this cross continental journey, celebrating the glory of global travel and its transition into the luxurious interiors of Kensington’s great homes. Eastern Palace by Sam Wilde The Japanese word fuubutsushi, marks the anticipation we feel for the changing seasons. It’s the understanding that each precious moment in our lives is fleeting, and each of these changes will bring with them, a new season. With a baccalaureate in natural history and a reverence for the cultural heritage of Japan, Sam’s artwork chronologies the country’s four main islands, sequentially represented by the four seasons. Each island houses regional shinto shrines, temples and castles, beside which sits a rich tapestry of endemic seasonal flora and topiary. Lastly, beneath the islands lay sleeping giant kami, represented by the animals only found in Japan, the elusive giant catfish, giant salamander, samurai crab and stone turtle.

  • The WILLIAMSBURG Brand Takes a “Trend-Meets-Tradition” Approach
    The WILLIAMSBURG brand takes a “Trend-Meets-Tradition” approach to home décor inspired by the extensive design archive of the not-for-profit Colonial Williamsburg Foundation. Fusing the best of American craftsmanship with international influences that accented homes of the era, WILLIAMSBURG offers a fresh take on 18th-century design, reimagining classic elements for today’s lifestyles. GARDEN IMAGES Highlighted by a magnificent watercolor painted by Georg Ehret in 1737, this botanical design captures the natural ambience of gardens in Colonial Williamsburg’s Historic Area. The large magnolia blossoms, flowering dogwood, and occasional butterfly are shown in multiple colors on a lightly textured field which mimics fine linen or, in one instance, cloth of gold. Six variations include cream ground with green, blue, and beige, brown ground with deep pinks and blue-greens, a charcoal ground with purples and ochres. There is also a distinctive metallic gold ground enhanced by plum accents. Dickinson Trellis or Amelia Stripe would make a handsome partner. TAUNTON TEXTURE During the 18th- century, Taunton, England, was a center for the manufacture of woolen broadcloth. This wall paper, named for that city, bears a similarity. The textured background looks like woven cloth, while vertical and horizontal faux slubs mimic the appearance and feel of earlier fabrics made from nubby hand-spun yarns. This pattern, in five palettes including beige with taupe and white, or light and medium grey with cream, offers a subtle complement to many other designs in the WILLIAMSBURG collection. For example, use with Dinwiddie Damask or with John Rocque’s London Map, circa 1740s, Mural.

    Palampore Palampore Named after lustrous Indian painted fabric panels, Palampore combines exotic Indienne-inspired and indigenous designs in two coordinating collections of fabrics and wallcoverings. The love affair with these decorated cloths became a European sensation in the 17th century as the vivid dying techniques were highly sought after and cotton was considered a luxury fabric for bedcovers. Patterns in these collections include tree of life elements – influenced by traditional palampore textiles – Jacobean flowers, unique leaf and paisley motifs, decorative small-scale designs and printed paperweaves, as well as a playful tiger, tribal and batik prints, that naturally complement the fabrics.

The research method used were the presentation and analysis of previous literature research and visual data. The result were as follows; Pre-Orientalism had been influenced by Morocco, Thailand, and Persia as well as Turkey, India, and China. In this study, Pre-Orientalism refers to oriental influence and oriental taste in Western Europe through cultural exchanges from the 16th century to the mid-18th century. The oriental costume was the most popular subspecies of fancy, luxury dress and was a way to show off wealth and intelligence. Textiles were used for decoration and luxury. The Embassy and the court in Versailles and Vienna led to a frenzy of oriental fashion.

    COLLOQUE SCIENTIFIQUE ET HISTORIQUE OBERKAMPF ET LA TOILE IMPRIMÉE XVIIIE–XIXE SIÈCLES PRODUCTION, CRÉATION, CONSOMMATION L'objectif de cet ouvrage n'est pas de proposer aux lecteurs un « énième » ouvrage sur la toile de Jouy1, sur cette manufacture2, ni même sur son célèbre fondateur3, mais de multiplier les points de vue concernant l'industrie textile de l'impression. Les nombreuses contributions permettent d'envisager l'industrie des toiles imprimées à l'échelle européenne, dans des processus d'échanges et de circulations, depuis la première globalisation à l'époque moderne jusqu'à la révolution industrielle en Europe au XIXe siècle. Oberkampf n'est pas le sujet de ce livre, mais sa personnalité est présente en filigrane dans les contributions rassemblées qui touchent aux questions industrielles et techniques, commerciales et artistiques, jusqu'au phénomène de patrimonialisation des toiles avec la constitution des collections textiles depuis la fin du XIXe siècle ou comment la toile de Jouy est entrée au musée. En faisant le point sur l'histoire de la toile imprimée, cet ouvrage contribue à prolonger les commémorations autour de la figure d'Oberkampf qui ont jalonné l'année 2015 à l'occasion du bicentenaire de sa mort. 1.

    First Impressions: The Prohibition on Printed Calicoes in France, 1686-1759 Gillian Crosby A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements of Nottingham Trent University for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy July 2015 Copyright statement This work is the intellectual property of the author.

Abstract This thesis examines the French prohibition on both importing printed cotton from India and printing it in France between 1686 and 1759, an interdiction significantly longer than any other European country, and challenges the portrayal of the ban as a sustained protectionist measure for the anciennes manufactures. Although it was undeniably instigated for this reason, the ban was prolonged due to conflicting government policies, vested interests and an overriding fear for France’s reputation for high-quality products. The study shows that attacking a fledgling, technically incompetent industry conveniently concealed that the textiles trades’ loss of skilled workers and markets were the result of decades of a poor economic situation. The examination of primary sources has revealed how the government unwittingly handicapped the state-controlled French East India Company, whose main cargo was cotton, and the repeated granting of exemptions as appeasement negated the possibility of effective law enforcement and engendered perpetual confusion.
