WHAT'S OLD IS NEW AGAIN IN THE WEDGWOOD WORLD! Thanks to our friend Lord Pulford in Scotland and to The UK Telegraph we have learned of a new trend, but really it's not new. In the 1970s and 80s I decorated several dining rooms with fabric draperies and wallcoverings in gorgeous Wedgwood patterns, licensed to a famed wallcovering firm. They eventually disappeared but now check out http://www.blendworth.co.uk/wedgwood/ for some beautiful new fabrics and wallpapers reminiscent of the historic beauty of Wedgwood classical looks. (click order samples tab to see all the various patterns on offer.)
And for a better overview of the subject of reviving older products and styles, go here to read in depth about the renaissance of home and fashion styles from the past. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/luxury/design/98075/meet-the-design-czars-turning-homeware-brands-around.html
The classic beauty of historic Wedgwood will live on in these new trends as the young forward-thinking designers look back to history for their inspiration. What's old is indeed new again. For a sample of the earlier version of drapery fabric, in this case the Columbia bone china pattern, see http://www.alexisantiques.com/browse/view.php?item=WW071
and yet another, albeit newer, fun home fashion accessory which matches the Wedgwood Grand Gourmet series of wine and champagne label plates, see http://www.alexisantiques.com/browse/view.php?item=WW070
Home fashion based on exquisite china patterns of old is a re-emerging trend these days; let's all be glad the younger designers are looking to the past both for marketing ideas as well as design creativity and embrace their work!
