Some readers or bloggers ask me advice for decoration or antiques .
I don't forget anyone but the problem is that I miss time so I answer step by step
One of my reader from Washington DC , ask me some advice about a fabric for a pair of bergères.Let's call him PLT
This is one of the picture , my reader sent me
bergère Louis XV , begining of the XIX th century.
The "problems " were to choose a fabric that will fit into an " eclectic decoration" and that will value these antiques. The picture above doesn't depict the living room where they go today.
PLT moved to another flat and now these "bergères will have to match with zebra fabric and expresso colored wooden floor and chocolate brown sofa.
First, I think to value these armchairs , we have to choose something timeless . I think damask fabric will be the perfect choice .
My favorite choice will be a kind of rustic damask that looks kind of modern with an old Louis XV pattern , it is a fabric from Pierre Frey ( I guess you will already know it) It is called Apollon , and there is the plain fabric that matches with it.( so you can for example make others pieces with it , or curtains)
Pierre Frey, apollon , 110 euro / M
I will choose a cream color , but actually with this fabric you can several choice of colors
the color I will choose , first ....But
Otherwise I will also propose some timeless and classical fabric
Lelievre , Galanterie, coton and silk 170 euro / m
such as droguet de soie , I will another time propose the beige one
Prelle, Damas armoisin, 200 euro /m
classic silk damask
Braquenie , chambord , 200 euro /m
I think anyway the best color is anyway beige , cream ...
I could have proposed hundreds of others damasks but I prefer to choose the right ones
UPDATE
here is the Isabelle color From Apolon fabric that I like the most
