PERIOD DRAMA We highlighted the soon-to-be-launched Venetian Damask fabric and wallpaper from Chelsea Textiles in our New Year Honours (January 2022 issue) and are thrilled to see it used to beautiful effect on a sofa in this classical setting. Designed by Patrick Kinmonth, acclaimed opera director, costume and set designer, it has an eye-catching grand scale and a captivating faded patina, giving it a sense of its history as a treasured pattern popular since the Middle Ages.
