As part of our preparations for our upcoming Antique Textiles auctions, we are specifically seeking the following items for collectors:

• Antique costumes and costume accessories from the 18th and 19th centuries: French-style garments, court dresses, and elegant wardrobes, even if they are not in perfect condition. Over the past ten years, several historic costumes sold by us have been added to the collections of major museums in France and abroad.

• Archives including: documentation on the subject, as well as fabric sample books from manufacturers in Lyon and elsewhere!

• Lyon silk fabrics: display swatches of precious lampas silks, such as those on display at the Musée des Tissus—which is one of our buyers when we make exceptional finds—as well as curtains and even bed linens that are highly sought after for the restoration of historic homes.

• Select linens: dinner service sets, family service sets for twelve, eighteen, twenty-four place settings, and more; since this type of linen is no longer woven anywhere, wealthy individuals who frequently entertain regularly ask us to find some for them.

• Antique wallpapers: panoramic designs and antique rolls for historic restorations.

• Textiles from around the world: cashmere shawls, Ottoman embroidery, and embroidery from the Far East.
