Why Textiles Matter

This is a beautiful image of an oil painting by William Orpen. I believe it shows why soft furnishings such as drapes and table coverings can make the difference in a room’s mood – our mood. Textiles also do the same for fashion. Also see below another inspirational example from Harold Knight.

The subject of the painting is the Countess of Crawford and Balcarres who, I believe, was married to David Lindsay, 27th Earl of Crawford.
