It could be a painted ceiling or a French wrought iron gate. The line is very eclectic with the look of 17th and 18th-century fabrics from France and England, as well as, Indian, Chinese and Japanese designs. Her gorgeous collection is made in England from fine linens, cotton, and silks of uncompromised quality. The fabrics are sold in design showrooms nationwide.
