FABRIC BY THE YARD

We use our rich archive as a source for historically-accurate design. In addition to selling these patterns by the yard, we work with our clients to customize tone and material for specific applications.

Our Story

Textile Artifacts founder Paul Freeman spent his early career as a picker, buyer, dealer, consultant, and collector. Since 1979, Paul has traveled extensively through New England, New York, and Europe, amassing a stunning archive of textiles.


With time, Paul began to specialize in Arts and Crafts and art-nuveau era fabrics and began working with interior design and upholstery clients, who needed larger quantities of fabrics. This led him to start the antique textile reproduction company, Archive Edition, in 2000.


Now, Paul has chosen to focus on the incredible archive of antique fabrics held by Textile Artifacts. Joining forces with his children Jordan and Marley, Textile Artifacts will expand their offerings to include antique textile sales, rentals and consultations.
