Nothing says luxury like a richly woven animal print. F. Schumacher Serengeti Silk in Black and White (2643850) is a silk chine, a type of warp print traditionally produced in Europe. Not only luxurious, this centuries-old process is as intricate as it is beautiful. The process involves printing a fine silk warp and then weaving it on a power loom. The loom is stopped periodically during the weaving so the loose weft threads that hold together the warp during printing can be removed by hand, one inch at a time. Serengeti Silk has an exotic quality evocative of a rare animal print as well as a softly shaded faux bois that is perfect for both classic and contemporary interiors. This blend of white and black is a gorgeous print that would be a perfect set of pillows or accent piece for your interior design.
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.
