Cretonnes and their decorative uses
Cretonnes and their decorative uses is a 1930 trade booklet from Darvel Fabrics, published in New York by Barbe McKenzie Corp., presenting printed cretonne fabrics to interior decorators and the buying public. The pictures are line drawings and colour plates of rooms with curtains, bedspreads, upholstered chairs and cushions, showing how bold floral and geometric prints sit against plain walls and wood. A designer could take from them the pairing of patterned drapes with solid furniture and the layering of several prints in one room.
