N2  - This volume pictorially documents many of the outstanding textiles used in our homes from the 1930s to the present. Barkcloth, a type of cotton weave that is very dense as well as textured, was often used in draperies or slipcovers of the past. In recent years, barkcloth has enjoyed a renaissance. It can now be seen covering photo albums, hat boxes, vintage luggage, lampshades, purses, and pillows. More and more modern designers are using vintage barkcloth as inspiration for today's textiles; With over 200 color photographs, this book showcases the beautiful array of patterns, colors, and motifs used in the barkcloth of the past. It is a valuable resource for designs, collectors, dealers, and anyone interested in collecting, restoring, and, most of all, enjoying these wonderful fabrics
