Historical reference
The colour and material for the restaurant curtains were taken from this original 18th Century sample.This is a design for a bed for the Abbess of Thorn (near Maastricht) probably by a cousin of the architect Matthias Soiron, circa 1780.The 18th century designer included samples of silk for his client. The design is kept in the archives.The colours were still vibrant and very useful.
