Textile manufacturer, Scalamandre, was able to create fabric that was close to the weight, weave, texture, and color of the original fabric – it took them a couple of years to weave the silk! Then the Bureau of Historic Sites at Peebles Island constructed the textile pieces – curtains, bed hangings, furniture coverings, and wall covering.
The Mills Family and the Friends contributed funds for the fabrication of 300 yards of raspberry silk damask and 430 yards of trim, as well as purchase of a new carpet and reproduction chandelier.
