Textile Tuesday: Document Fossil

Document Fossil is one of the most recognizable textile patterns in the Lacefield line, partially due to its starring roll on Victoria Grayson's wingchair in the ABC hit series, Revenge.  Since its debut in the textile line seven years ago, the versatile Lacefield Document pattern has been used on upholstered furniture of all silhouettes and styles, drapery panels, shower curtains, lampshades, table linens, holiday decor and more.  The intriguing script design was inspired by a collection of vintage French documents in the Lacefield design archives.  Printed on our popular heavy basket base cloth, a durable blend of Rayon and cotton, Document Fossil proves to be pretty, feminine and functional.

Scene Stealer

Queen Victoria

Season 2 of the ABC hit Revenge is in full swing... and our popular Document textile is once again quite the scene stealer!  The Grayson family matriarch, Victoria, is often perched in a gorgeous wingback chair upholstered in Lacefield Designs Document Fossil textile.  Queen Victoria's evil persona has been defined by her pursed lips, icy stare and dramatic French script throne.  This show stopper of a chair has sparked a flurry of blog posts and tweets by Revenge fans curious to know where they can get a similar one for their home.

 

To recreate this look with a wingback chair you already own,  Document Fossil cut yardage is available directly from Lacefield Designs. Several furniture companies sell wing back chairs very similar to the ones above - try Hooker Furniture or the Thurston wing chair by Ballard Designs.
