Our Archives

Richard’s family have been involved with weaving fabrics since the 1920s, with Richard joining and then running the family weaving company E & S Smith Ltd in 1984.
Over the past 35 years Richard has collected together an extensive archive of Jacquard and Dobby designs along with their technical data, from both E & S Smith Ltd and a number of historical mills, with designs dating back from the 1880s to the 1980s.
He now offers access to these uniquely historical records to editors, fashion and home interior designers as well as fabric and wall covering manufacturers to take inspiration from or undertake the recreation of designs not seen for many years.
