It’s always a pleasure to see our fabrics brough

It’s always a pleasure to see our fabrics brought to life on finished furniture — here, our bespoke green silk damask has been masterfully upholstered onto a pair of elegant mahogany armchairs. The combination of fine craftsmanship in both fabric and woodwork makes for a truly timeless result.

A wonderful example of how historic interiors can be carefully restored and preserved for future generations.

A throwback to this stunning Silk & Wool Damask fresh from our looms in Sudbury.

Woven in a rich Muscat green, this bespoke fabric was carefully custom dyed for a truly unique walling and upholstery scheme. Once woven, every metre is hand-inspected by our skilled team to ensure the finest quality before it leaves the mill.

A look back at this beautifully vibrant Muscat Silk & Wool Damask on the loom at our Sudbury mill.

This bespoke fabric was custom dyed in a striking shade and woven in our historic New Pavia design — a perfect example of how we blend heritage techniques with tailored craftsmanship.

We’ll be sharing the finished upholstery later this week, so stay tuned to see this fabric in its final setting!

The Henry Ford Estate, a fascinating project. A project which started with only a receipt that described the colour and a couple of very grainy photographs. We meticulously recreated this design from the little evidence we had, the outcome is a spectacular brocatelle with custom colour. Our team are all design trained and will bring your fabric to life.

We work internationally on interior projects, to learn more visit our website.

If you have a project that requires design work, contact us and together we can create a wonderful fabric. #HumphriesWeaving #brocatellefabric #bespokefabric #recreatingtextiles #historicfabric #wallupholstery
