Founded in 1929 by Italian immigrant Franco Scalamandré, the House of Scalamandré has spent nearly a century earning its place as one of the most culturally significant luxury textile brands in American history — and its indoor fabric collection is the fullest expression of that remarkable legacy. From weaving reproduction silks for the Kennedy White House's Red Room to supplying historic restorations at Monticello, Hearst Castle, and the State Department, Scalamandré has long operated at the highest level of design ambition, where archive depth, material quality, and artistic integrity are non-negotiable. Today the brand remains the definitive destination for designers who believe that the fabric on a chair, a sofa, or a window is not a background detail — it is the statement.
Scalamandré's indoor fabric collection spans an extraordinary breadth of constructions, aesthetics, and applications, encompassing upholstery, drapery, multipurpose, sheer, and specialty fabrics in silk, velvet, cotton, linen, viscose, wool, and blended constructions. The brand is celebrated above all for its silks, damasks, and cut velvets — including the iconic Tigre animal print and the Berry velvet — alongside a rich archive of brocatelles, lampas, jacquards, toiles, florals, and chinoiseries that reflect the brand's roots in European textile tradition. Newer thematic collections continue to expand the offering: the Woodland Estate collection by Old World Weavers brings coordinating jacquards, velvets, embroideries, and prints under a single narrative, while Scalamandré's own digitally printed fabrics — including the celebrated Leaping Cheetah, printed on cotton sateen in Italy — bring the archive into a bold contemporary register.
Across the full collection, fabrics are colored and constructed to coordinate with Scalamandré's outdoor fabric collections as well as trim, enabling designers to build a fully unified design from a single storied source.
