Vintage Barkcloth Style Names

There are just so many beautiful patterns of vintage barkcloth...roses, feather plumes, scrolls, tropicals and Eame's atomic...that I decided to start cataloging the many beautiful patterns I find along with their Design names. This is a work in progress, so I'll be adding new pics as I discover them.

I have approx 10 yds of vintage Guaranteed to be Vat Paris ...at least that is what is on the edge...its barkcloth. Uncut. Excellent shape, smells a little musty but no mold etc. I can't find the pattern name and its not on here...Can you tell me where to look or if I sent you a picture, would you be able to identify it?? Its a very regal deco look in burgundy and grey and tan stripes of long leaves or fronds. Thanks...HELP! What do I have??

Oh my gosh! I have had a pair of barkcloth drapes for decades that I bought at auction. When I got them they were unwashed, cigarett smoke ruined! I love the pattern and have searched for years for them! Just found the pattern on your website. Thank you so much. Della

I recently found a fairly big piece of barkcloth at the consignment antique place I go and bought it... it is really unique.. it is called cape cod by riverdale created by stevan dohanos can you tell me anything about it... I was going to make kitchen curtains or a tablecloth but am afraid to cut it its so cute..

I loved looking at your site, I have many of these patterns. I have collected Barkcloth for years. I am now retired and am making pillows and purses out of my barkcloth. My husband sells my efforts on ebay.

I was looking up fabric to try to identify some Riverdale Vat Print Fabric I have. I came across your pics. Would you mind if I email you about identifying some fabric I have.

I have a pair of drapes - I may have bought from you! - on ebay. They are a hibiscus flowers print and have "A T'ung Shan Print" written on the inside seam. Can you tell me more about them? I
LOVE barkcloth - always looking for more. Works so well in my Florida home. Thanks.

I have just recently inherited a bunch of leftover rolls of barkcloth from my grandfather's upholstery business from the 50's and 60's. Its been quite fun going through them! Thank you for your site it has helped me understand what I have! I was curious to be able to date the barkcloth I have more accurately or find out more about it. The manufacturers are "Fabulous Prints by Tower" and Serenade but I couldn't find websites for them. One of the rolls from Tower still has a tag on it reading "Lot: 1195, Approx Repeat: 20, Pattern: Magic Carpet". I thought this might help to date them but haven't found anything like it yet.

WOW!! What an amazing collection!!! I think I've never seen such a collection outside of the original printers, or some museum-type holding. And to be given them....I'm envious.
- L G Andrews, Sat, 27 Mar 2010 9:52PM

Thanks for taking the time to post pics. I'm a bark cloth fanatic. Any recommendations as to best place to purchase?
