Fabric from Groves Brothers
I’m currently working on a project using fabrics from Groves Brothers, which I thought I’d share with you. These hand-screened fabrics have a wonderful depth to them and are reversible.
They can be custom-made in any color and are available to the trade. You can view their line here.
Because the fabrics are reversible, it makes them a great choice for use in a bedroom. Create a duvet with one side of the fabric and window treatments with the other. When you fold part of the duvet over, the combination is fantastic.
The collection is based on the ages-old methods of Venetian printing. Most of the patterns are faithful reproductions of documented patterns from the Renaissance period. The range is comprised of 33 patterns, each available in 175 standard colors.
If you’re interested in a sample and prices shoot me an email.

As most of you know, this fabric very closely resembles Fortuny fabric, also from Venice, but at a cheaper rate.
i have bought some Groves Brothers fabric at my favorite online fabric store, iluvfabrix.com.
They have an enormous selection and usually have a sale of some sort going on.

What is the weight and makeup of these fabrics? Heavy silk? Light linen? Hard to tell by the photos.

They’re 100% cotton. The fabric’s printing gives it a stiffness, but it’s lightweight. I’d use this for draperies, bedding, accessories. As for upholstery - only on lightly used pieces. I can’t remember how many rubs it holds up to.
These are really beautiful!
