Madeleine Castaing

“Madeleine Castaing (1894-1992) was the first French Decorator to become famous abroad. She gathered so many archives of fabric, wallpaper and engravings that she created, with the help of her friend Francis Hamot, her own collection of fabrics and rugs. She would sell these from her Paris shop. When Francis Hamot died, Maison Edmond Petit bought the fabric collection of Maison Hamot together with Madeleine Castaing’s range. Her fabrics and wallpapers are now available worldwide.”
