General NewsElgar promenade celebrates Brindley linkFriday 06 June 2008
James Brindley is permanently commemorating a family link to the great composer Edward Elgar at the newly refurbished Royal Hall in Harrogate. Elgar was the great-uncle of Mark Grafton who originally formed James Brindley of Harrogate, now run by his sons Simon and Richard Grafton, who have been keen to support the acclaimed work of the Royal Hall Restoration Trust. Originally completed in 1903, one of the unique features of the Royal Hall - or ‘Kursaal’ - was its 360° ‘circulatory ambulatory’ which provided a place for visitors to gather as they engaged in the social intercourse so popular of the time. Members of the audience could enjoy a brief respite from what was happening on stage to take a light stroll completely around the auditorium. James Brindley’s role in the sponsorship of the Royal Hall restoration is acknowledged in the naming of the restored walkway as ‘The Elgar Promenade’ in honour of Mark’s great Uncle.

Adding a Flourish to furnishingsFriday 11 May 2007 Aptly named Flourish, the new collection is perfect for adding the finishing touches to soft furnishings in both traditional and classic contemporary styles.
Eight different trims are available ranging from braid and unflanged cord through to beads and tassel fringes, alongside five stunning tie-backs including the luxuriant hourglass design shown here.
The trimmings are available in 12 different striking colourways designed to complement any colour palette, appropriately named for their richness in terms such as Ginger, Persian and Anis. Many of the colours follow the theme of Brindley’s current silk ranges, such as the hugely popular Opulence and new Kaleidoscope, in up to the minute vibrant and subtle shades.
 BRINDLEY'S SILKS NOW AVAILABLE AS WALLPAPERTuesday 06 February 2007
James Brindley of Harrogate have picked up second prize for best new wallcovering at the Design Interiors exhibition, an award given by Cabinet Maker Magazine. Their striking black and white silk Kaleidoscope design had been backed onto wallpaper as an example of their new wallcovering service available for most of their fabrics. The custom service means customers can purchase the quantity they require in metres rather than by the roll, which on a minimum of 20mts will add only £10/mtr on top of the fabric price; amazing value for such a luxury product. James Brindley of Harrogate have gained an enviable reputation for their exquisite hand printed and embroidered silks, and are now clearly making an impact in the wallcoverings market with the new service.

The same distinctive combination of hand printing and embroidery is true of the Botanic, where voluptuous abstract flora and forna adorn the luxurious silk dupion, while Duomo uses beautiful highlights and confident outlinesfor a flamboyant damask.
Completing the new collection are two perfect co-ordinates produced in the same eight colourways; Chantry, where curvaceous stitching creates a simple yet sumptuous cloth with an inviting tactile quality and Astral, a versatile stripe perfect for marrying the base colourways with accent shades.
BRINDLEY'S SIGNATURE SILKTuesday 06 February 2007
Silk specialists, James Brindley of Harrogate have launched Signature - an inspiring collection of textures which bring a fresh identity to plain silk. Luxuriously plump diamonds of velvet distinguish the refined Signature quilted silk. In wonderful contrast to the softness of Signature’s velvet, is the crisp embossed dupion, Arities. Its tiny raised facets produce fascinating shadows, in a variety of shades offering many opportunities for sophisticated co-ordinating. The expressive trio is completed by the expanded colour palette of Ioha, a silk velvet with a subtle crushed surface enhancing the plush pile, illuminating the fabric with a wealth of tones. All 100% pure silk, this sophisticated and complementary collection is available in 23 carefully selected colourways ranging from pale dusky hues to dark rich shades. |
