About the Item

An exceptionally rare Fall 1956 E&W “Quadriga Cloth” original textile sample presentation board, featuring three vivid colorways of mid-century floral cotton prints in red, golden chartreuse, and cobalt blue. Issued by E.W. Brands, this page formed part of a professional showroom or traveling sales binder used to present new fabric lines to department stores, interior decorators, and garment manufacturers. These boards were working tools of the textile trade and were typically discarded after seasonal use, making surviving examples increasingly scarce. Each colorway retains its pinking-shear sample edge, hand-mounted layout, and original style numbers (2098 B–D), offering a beautiful and authentic snapshot of American textile marketing during the post-war design boom. Marked: “Fall 1956 – Quadriga Cloth – Exclusive Needleized Finish – E&W Brands” with the American Institute of Laundering Certified Washable seal — a key mid-century innovation highlighting the rise of easy-care fashion and home textiles. This piece sits at the intersection of: textile history graphic design fashion merchandising mid-century color theory Making it highly desirable for collectors and the design trade alike. Original showroom sample boards are: ✔ used by top designers as instant wall art ✔ increasingly collected as textile ephemera ✔ one-of-a-kind (seasonal and rarely survives) ✔ visually stronger than loose fabric samples They provide authentic mid-century color palettes that designers actively reference today. STYLING IDEAS: In a Palm Beach / Quadrille / Schumacher-inspired interior: Framed in a lucite shadow box Hung in a grid with other textile samples In a fashion office or dressing room: Above a worktable Layered with vintage fashion sketches Dimensions: 10.5" Wide 14" Tall
