Vintage Style Fabric
When people watch a film version of one of the classics from authors like Jane Austen they look at the décor in the homes and sigh in longing. The decadent elegance of the late 19 th and early 20 th century has all but disappeared in the post-modern world that we live in today. Gone are the images of rich brocades and delicately embroidered fabrics only to be replaced by pragmatic steel and durable plastics and leathers. But these vintage style fabrics are starting make a come back as people look once more for the softer touch of the rich fabrics that where once the norm in many house in 18 th century America, England and Europe.
Fabric has been used for a long time as a decorative element and has adorned the walls of many a home for a long time. In the Middle Ages it was in the form of rich tapestries that adorned the walls and in the 18 th and 19 th century, the wall covering were made from fabric that was delicately embroidered with intricate designs. Before the mass production of paper as a wall covering, fabric and cloth were the main choices and there are some old mansions that still show off these vintage style fabric coverings. The old fabrics were used in almost every aspect of décor in latter part of the 18 th century from the walls, to the curtains to the furniture.
In many a movie or other television program people have seen those antique chairs covered with a richly decorated fabric.
