The other option was using an Indian print bedspread with a white ground. I've been checking our local hippie store frequently and have come close!

You might "conserve" by doing another fabric with this one on the bergeres- arms if padded and the backs. contrast welting, check maybe? or something like the ground of this one or a ticking stripe? of course pillows too. I suppose Thorp was inspired by the authentic ones- & had an artist render them to avoid imaging rights & to simplify the number of colors it used. pgtP.Gaye Tapp at Little Auguryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15115534755711063462noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8995565869399302689.post-2855245940808835492011-05-04T01:34:52.004-04:002011-05-04T01:34:52.004-04:00amazing. thanks for sharing.

You could almost...Courtney alerted me to this post. You could almost call Indore a Proustian fabric, as it unlocks all these memories for you (and Proust was always fascinated by the romantic associations of a name, like 'Indore' here).<br /><br />It is fascinating how this fabric creates an image of 'India' by juxtaposing Company paintings with (presumably) and Indian fabric background. Company paintings were themselves a kind of hybrid, made by Indian artists for the British market using a mixture of Indian and European styles, so that makes Indore a mixture of hybrids (or a hybrid of mixtures!). Add to that your own personal associations, and it becomes a truly layered fabric, as Courtney says :)Emile de Bruijnhttp://nttreasurehunt.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8995565869399302689.post-16259085122802327142011-04-07T21:59:37.008-04:002011-04-07T21:59:37.008-04:00Deb!
