One only has to look at the images of the new Versailles collection to describe it as luxurious, classic, majestic... If we go a step further to better understand this type of fabric, we have to travel to France at the beginning of the 19th century, specifically to 1804. At this time, Joseph Marie Jacquard was a French weaver and merchant looking to boost and expand his business.
Always in direct contact with the workshop, he became obsessed with the amount of time lost when embroidering or working with silk. His ingenuity led him to create a new loom where silk would not be embroidered but woven directly with intricate shapes, shines, and incredible details. Thus, jacquard was born, and its influence quickly reached decoration and fashion.
To understand the advance it represented and the time savings, it is enough to note that in just 10 years, 11,000 jacquard looms were installed in France. This little story is the perfect excuse to show the details and elegance of the Versailles collection.
The keys to elegance
Jacquard fabrics in general, and the Versailles collection in particular, besides their elegance, have other properties that make them a great option for curtains, upholstery, and cushions. Firstly, the position of the thread makes them much more resistant and durable than other fabrics. In fact, they always yield exceptional results in abrasion and resistance tests.
On another note, this type of fabric, due to its thickness, is heavier and does not wrinkle, making it the best option for restaurants, high-traffic or high-flow areas. It's no coincidence that we always associate them with sofas, armchairs, and easy chairs.
A plus in design
This type of fabric is not only marked by its resistance, but also by its unique, intricate, and detailed patterns and designs. Specifically, the Versailles collection is full of damasks and colors such as silver, blue, or grey that remind us of grand palaces, elegant 19th-century homes, and the beauty of the timeless.
