Update - July 2007

Alnwick Dining Room Silks Restored

The Dining Room at Alnwick Castle, Northumberland has been restored using woven fabric made at Sudbury Silk Mills in Suffolk.
The pure silk wall and furniture cloth is woven in a deep vibrant shade of green to match exactly early archive fragments from the house Archives. The design was redrawn in the Humphries Studio from the original double motive design originally woven at 24 inches wide, and installed in the early 19th Century. The cloth is also featured on Chippendale dining chairs which are the largest matching set to survive.
The room which now has a new hand made carpet, restored carved ceiling and paintings, features a fine Robert Adam fire place which survives an earlier 19th century restoration of the room.
