Stack of antique folded quilts and woven textiles in indigo, cream, and rust on a walnut surface — Woven History collection, Jolene Le Mille Archive

Woven History

Silk, velvet, raw wool, and heavy linen from the looms of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Quilts, tapestries, rugs, embroidery, lace, and baskets — anything built thread by thread or woven by hand. Fabrics created when slow was the only option and natural fiber defined what fabric meant.

About This Collection

Textiles are the part of a room that people forget until they get them right. The right throw on a chair, the right grain-sack pillow cover still bearing the names of Michigan, Ohio, Pennsylvania, New York, Indiana, Wisconsin, and Illinois mills that no longer exist. This is the Great Lakes region. These are the things that make a space feel lived-in rather than styled and untouched.

Woven History is a gathering of antique natural-fiber textiles sourced from estate linen closets, farmstead auctions, and private collections across the Great Lakes. Everything is tested for genuine fiber. Nothing synthetic gets through. Silk velvet that shifts color as the pile moves in the light. Raw, scratchy wool that actually insulates. Heavy linen grain sacks bearing the names of Michigan and Ohio mills that no longer exist. Woven cotton and wool blankets with the weight of proper manufacture.
