Finally, a guide to vintage chenille for the collector and
designer. This book takes you on a rich visual tour of vintage
chenille bedspreads manufactured from the 1920s through the early
1970s. Hundreds of these beautiful tufted spreads are shown as well
as novelty items and clothing. Detail shots highlight manufacturing
techniques and trace the change from handmade to machine
manufacture. A price guide is included in the captions. An
introduction acquaints readers with the wonderful story of
chenille: its birth just over a century ago in the southern town of
Dalton, Georgia, and the rise of Dalton to prominence in the tufted
spread and later the carpet industry. This book helps fuel the
recent rebirth of chenille in today's textile industry.
