Long a destination for connoisseurs of classic design, Scalamandré’s legacy began over eighty-five years ago when Franco Scalamandré started producing silk reproduction textiles for historic properties. For many decades, the Scalamandré weaving in New York City manufactured the finest, most luxurious, and exquisitely crafted mill-based fabrics, trimmings, and wallpapers for the best-dressed interiors in America. Scalamandré continues to showcase its iconic designs today, as well as exciting new introductions that reflect the most current design and color trends in modern interiors.

Additionally, Scalamandré remains the preeminent resource for America's leading designers and decorators for their most distinguished custom textile, wallpaper, and trimmings projects.
In early 2017, Scalamandré merged with Stark Fabric, operating under The House of Scalamandré name. The company also represents many renowned international brands, such as Lelièvre, Colony, and Ashley Stark Home.
