SERVICES PROVIDED
Vintage Valances
specializes in re-creating historic drapery styles for house museums, public buildings, and old private homes nationwide.

Vintage Valances works closely with clients to analyze the architectural style, building history, and intended current use. Drapery shape can be based either on the owner's primary documents (original drapery, hardware, drawings, photos, descriptions) or on the appropriate general research collected by Vintage Valances.

We work within the client's budge to find necessary hardware, textiles, and passementerie. Then we fabricate the chosen design.

Vintage Valances knows how to construct draperies as intended by the original artisans. We have studied old pattern-making formulas and have experience analyzing old photos and illustrations. Vintage Valances can re-create drapings for windows, doorways, beds, and dressing tables. Roller shades are also available.

Most projects are accomplished via mail, fax, phone, and extensive use of snapshots of the project. All drapery is shipped ready to hang, for easy installation. A personal visit for consultation or installation can be arranged if your project requires it.

Please call or write to discuss your proposed project.
