As a legendary American luxury brand, Scalamandré’s mission is to inspire interior designers with beautiful decorative textiles, wallcoverings, trimmings and furniture of the highest quality. Scalamandré’s commitment to the art and craftsmanship of its products has been the company’s hallmark, and its clear sense of integrity has produced a rich heritage of uncompromising quality and excellence.

Long a destination for connoisseurs of classic design, Scalamandré’s legacy began over eighty-five years ago when Franco Scalamandré began producing silk reproduction textiles for historic properties. For many decades, the Scalamandré weaving in New York City, manufactured the finest, most luxurious and exquisitely crafted mill, based fabrics, trimmings and wallpapers for the best-dressed interiors in America. Scalamandré continues to showcase its iconic designs today, as well as exciting new introductions that reflect the most current design and color trends in modern interiors.

Throughout its history and to this day, Scalamandré has been called upon by many of America’s most extraordinary properties. Historic restoration and cultural commissions number well over a thousand. Among these are The White House, the United States Capitol, United States Treasury, Monticello, Mount Vernon, Colonial Williamsburg, The Morgan Library, Wrightsman Galleries at Metropolitan Museum of Art, Isabelle Stewart Gardner Museum, Winterthur, the Mansions of Newport, Radio City Music Hall, and the Metropolitan Opera House. Additionally, Scalamandré remains the preeminent resource for America's leading designers and decorators for their most distinguished custom textile, wallpaper and trimmings projects.

In early 2017, Scalamandré merged with Stark Fabric, operating under the Scalamandré name. In addition to continuing its eponymous brand, Scalamandré now adds to its family the prestigious Old World Weavers and Grey Watkins brands, as well as Boris Kroll.
