Some things start simply...

A few emails. A bolt of fabric crossing an ocean. A shared sense of what makes a room truly worth living in.

We sent a selection of our fabrics and wallpapers to Lorfords, the beloved Cotswolds antique destination, and Eliza, our Creative Director, hand-picked sixty pieces from their remarkable collection. Together, we arranged them into a series of vignettes that feel collected, layered, and completely at home with one another.

Meet Lorfords

The UK and Europe's largest collector and distributor of unique decorative antiques, with 5000+ antiques in stock and 150 new items added weekly.

Meet Sister Parish

An iconic American heritage brand founded in 1933 by legendary interior designer Sister Parish. Now in its fourth generation of female ownership, Sister Parish Design continues its legacy of timeless textile and wallcovering designs for great American homes.

Two brands who have always believed in buying what you love and investing in pieces that last

Eliza Sets The Scheme

Eliza knows that small all-over floral papers recede just enough for something like a mid-century Chaty Vallauris sunburst mirror to read as a sculpture rather than competition. That same breathing room creates space for bolder moves on upholstery. Quality textiles and quality antiques share one defining trait: they reveal themselves in mixed company. Eliza selected Breakfast in Bed, Seville Stripe, Gofather, and Brio because they're the kind of patterns that make everything around them look better.

Patterns That Make Everything Around Them Look Better

A Note from Toby Lorford

It's an exciting time for Lorfords Antiques as we begin this partnership with Sister Parish Design, the iconic American heritage brand renowned for its timeless style and extraordinary history. Working alongside Creative Director Eliza Crater Harris, great-granddaughter of the legendary American interior designer Sister Parish, makes this collaboration especially meaningful. We hope our design friends in the US will embrace this meeting of two heritage-led worlds — our carefully curated antiques alongside their celebrated American design legacy.
