We have had several commissions from Cliffe Castle Museum in Keighley, including the spectacular Grand Drawing Room.
The fabric for this project was specially woven in India from a pattern that was originally used in the Grand Drawing Room in the 1870's. Luckily the museum staff had a photograph of the original decor and we took great care to reproduce the window dressings exactly as the would have looked when Henry Issac Butterfield was the owner of the house.
These curtains were made as part of the China In Yorkshire project. They were originally made of silk and cotton and were chosen to be reconstructed as they have a beautiful oriental design incorperating images of butterflies and plants, which fit nicely with the museum's extensive natural history collections.
