WHAT'S OLD IS NEW AGAIN IN THE WORLD OF WEDGWOOD DESIGN

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!
