Very Sanderson at the Fashion and Textile Museum, London
From 19 March 2010 – 13 June 2010 the Fashion and Textile Museum in London have ‘Very Sanderson – 150 years of English decoration’
From the website..
“Sanderson was founded by Arthur Sanderson in 1860 and for the last 150 years has been at the forefront of English decoration – producing the first coordinated collection of mass-produced wallpapers and fabrics in Britain. It also introduced a number of important technical innovations as well as developing a range of textiles and wallpapers by influential designers and Britain’s first ‘infinite’ range of colours in household paints.
During its illustrious history the company has amassed a huge collection of wallpapers and textiles representing the many changing faces and fads of interior decoration. Celebrating 150 years of the company this exhibition highlights the best of its archive as well as brand new collections. Full of surprises, it will fascinate and inform those whose tastes run from the Arts & Crafts style, jazzy Moderne, fifties’ Festival designs and Pop patterns, to decidedly contemporary art and decor.”
There’s much more information about Sanderson’s 150th birthday on their website.
