F. Schumacher Odalisque in Tabac (68920) is a soft wool blend. The Odalisque reprises two time-honored motifs associated with paradise and royalty-the paisley and the peacock-into a modern-day pattern with a large scale and a truly luxurious hand. Tabac mingles cream, toffee, and dark gray tones. The fabric is an adaptation of a museum-quality Kashmiri shawl from the archives. Textiles of this kind first captivated the West when imported to France in the late 18th century, where they were used in fashion. The British appropriated them for interiors in the Victorian era and they've been endlessly interpreted ever since. Our version is woven in Italy and comprises soft, quiet colorations. This style is part of the Schumacher 125th Anniversary Collection, marked by only the best of the best.
Mining the archives for its 125th anniversary, Schumacher has pulled together an assortment of its greatest hits, a roundup of its most prized fabrics and wallpapers. Some are nearly identical to the originals while others are re-imagined and re-interpreted and expanded to fit the size of modern homes. With its quality and attention to detail, this collection adds a punctuation mark to the company's 125-year timeline.
