Fabulous Barkcloth: Home Decorating Ideas from the 30s, 40s and 50s

Used in homes from the 1930s to the 1950s, barkcloth is a dense, textured cotton weave often used in draperies and slipcovers. Barkcloth enjoys a renaissance now covering photo albums, hat boxes, vintage luggage, lampshades, purses, and pillows. Modern designers use vintage barkcloth as inspiration for today’s textiles. Here over 200 color photographs showcase a beautiful array of patterns, colors, and floral motifs used on authentic barkcloth. The book is a valuable resource for designers.
