With impeccable attention to intricate details, Palace Damask is inspired by the handmade Venetian velvets created with hand-applied wooden printing blocks by ancient textile techniques in small workshops made famous by houses like Fortuny and Luigi Bevilacqua. Our inspiration comes from ancient Italian works of art, the rich cultural heritage of Renaissance Venice, the historical Venetian velvet arts, sumptuous patterned velvets, brocades. Damasks adorn the walls of the city's grandest palaces and richest churches, covered tables, and upholstered furniture. Palace Damask starts with true historical reference, pays homage and tribute to its origins, and to collectors who know the original work and then embarks on an artistic license, contemporary interpretation, and re-Imagineering. Palace Damask is bold, edgy, sumptuous, and both modern and timeless.
The House of Scalamandre
This captivating collection, created in collaboration with The Met, draws on artworks and objects from across nine of The Met’s 17 curatorial departments to create a rich mosaic of historical narratives. Each design is a celebration of artisanship, inspired by exquisite forms and cultural traditions. Following our first collaboration with The Met in the 1970s, we bring museum magic into the home once again in homage to history and the grand beauty of art.

Barra Palace derives its exquisite arches, botanical elements, and intricate patterning from traditional Persian architecture and gardens. A complex design screen printed by hand on 100% linen, this handsome medium-scale print works beautifully for upholstered pieces and window treatments.
Chinoiserie, the western decorative interpretation of Chinese life, is a Scalamandré signature, from classic toilet prints to scenic wallpapers. The classic chinoiserie design gets a thoroughly modern update in this dramatic new scenic print. The hand of the artist is evident here in the graphic, sketch-like drawings of fanciful figures, pagodas, and palm trees. The grand, full-width repeat of Summer Palace gives it the look of a modern mural, in contemporary shades of indigo, charcoal, and soft sky blue. A coordinating 54” wallpaper of the same scale complements each fabric.

The provenance of Royal Delft “William & Mary” is the commission in the 1600s of thematic tile plaques (manufactured in Delft) based on a design by Daniel Marot, who worked as a principal designer to William of Orange and also worked at William and Mary’s court in England and who may have played a pivotal role in furnishing and decorating the Water Gallery at Hampton Court Palace. A blue Delft vase is within a three-lobed ornament or trefoil surrounded by a cartouche with large curling acanthus leaves and flowers. Filled with diamond ornament on either side of the trefoil, a bird sits on the cartouche. Delft tiles were often used to seal damp walls from moisture and as Stadholder of Holland and King of England, William III decided to tile the walls on the Thames-side rooms to keep out the dampness with exceptionally beautiful glazed tiles. The project was never completed, as Mary died in 1694, and the rooms were demolished as early as 1700. The plaques sold piece by piece and disappeared, only resurfacing in 1923 when an art dealer put ten for sale. They are now housed at various museums, including the Metropolitan Museum, Rijksmuseum, Default, Cophenhagen, and Sevres. With reverence for the originals and equal parts artistic license, we carefully resorted their beauty on a new medium.
Painterly details and document-inspired coloring convey a tranquil elegance in Shanghai’s classic chinoiserie scene. Originally introduced in the late 1990s, this classic pattern continues to thrive as a timeless favorite.

There is great appreciation for our Bois de Chene which captures the natural light that filters through the forest and imitates a verdure tapestry. Truly a sophisticated and rich design.

Based on an early 18th-century French document, Chinoise exotique is a grand design depicting Chinese figures hunting exotic Indian animals. This pattern is a classic example of the kinds of chinoiserie patterns developed for export to the European market in the early 1700s. These fabrics became so popular that France passed a law banning them from sale out of fear that they would collapse the French textile market.
