Elegant Table Linens

This beautiful book is the first to exclusively present what many agree are the very best of vintage household linens, the products of the Weil & Durrs?Company of New York City, from the 1920s to 1984. Their Wilendur?and other brands reign above others in the collecting world for good reason. The bold and beautifully executed patterns stand out as art of the highest quality. Their inks and dyes, as well as their base fabrics, were exceptional. This book provides a brief history of the Weil and Durrs?Company and descriptive text for over 250 different tablecloths in 120 printed designs. 425 color photographs display exquisite floral tablecloths, napkins, placemats, curtains, towels, aprons, and handcrafted items. This fascinating and important book is for professional textile designers, historians, dealers, and collectors alike.
