Brunschwig & Fils Fabric by the Yard
Brunschwig & Fils is one of the most storied names in American luxury interior design — a French-founded, New York-based house that has defined the standard for decorative fabric and wallcovering excellence for over a century. Known for exquisite printed chintzes, sumptuous silks, refined wovens, and the most celebrated archive of historical pattern in the American decorating tradition, Brunschwig & Fils fabric represents the highest tier of residential textile design. At The WorkRoom, we carry Brunschwig & Fils fabric as an authorized dealer — silks, wools, printed cottons, and specialty wovens available by the yard with samples available before committing to a full order.
About Brunschwig & Fils
Brunschwig & Fils was founded in Paris in 1880 by Achille Brunschwig, initially as an importer of antique textiles and decorative objects for the American market. The firm established its American base in New York, growing into one of the most respected fabric and wallcovering houses in the United States. For generations, Brunschwig & Fils was the defining resource for the most discerning interior designers — the brand whose archive of printed chintzes, documentary prints, and European-inspired wovens set the standard for traditional American interior design. Today part of the Kravet family of brands, Brunschwig & Fils continues to produce its collections to the same exacting standards of material quality and design integrity that established its legendary reputation.
What's in the Brunschwig & Fils Fabric Collection
The Brunschwig & Fils fabric range spans several distinct collection families. The Jagtar collection represents the brand's finest luxury tier — pure Thai silks in a remarkable range of constructions including Palazzo (a silk with an elegant 26.8" vertical repeat), Louvre (a refined silk stripe), and Petersburg (a classic stripe for drapery), all woven in Thailand from 100% silk and available in a rich palette of colours. Le Jardin Chinois features classic chinoiserie-inspired woven designs — trellis patterns, chinoiserie weaves, and Asian-influenced textiles that carry the brand's French decorating heritage. Wool and wool-blend fabrics like the Chevalier Wool bring European craft traditions — Italian-woven, richly coloured upholstery weights for the most formal residential applications.
Brunschwig & Fils for Upholstery and Drapery
Brunschwig & Fils fabrics are designed to perform across both upholstery and drapery applications at the highest level. The Jagtar silk collection is particularly prized for formal drapery — pure silk panels in a traditional residence or high-end hotel create an unmatched luminosity and drape that synthetic alternatives cannot replicate. Woven upholstery fabrics from the brand's chinoiserie and traditional weave collections suit the most formal seating — sofas and chairs in reception rooms, dining rooms, and primary suites where quality and longevity are paramount.
How Brunschwig & Fils Fabric Layers in an Interior
Brunschwig & Fils fabrics are designed for the most layered, considered traditional and transitional interiors.

Lee Jofa fabric, also part of the Kravet family, offers complementary collections that share Brunschwig's heritage sensibility.
