Malachite!...I'm green with envy!

Hermitage  St. Petersburg

How much more classic can you get than malachite in decorating?


  Tony Duquette Inc., makes this fabulously decadent malachite fabric printed on cotton(and offers other precious mineral interpretations) ....


 Tony Duquette collection Malachite chair

... this is also the fabric used for the malachite chair.




Cole-and-Son offers this malachite wallpaper for interiors.

Tony Duquette understood the power of malachite in interior settings mixing with other classic elements.

Brimfield/Brimfield 
This decorative piece by Brimfield and Brimfield adds  just a touch of malachite to give any room richness.

The deep green mineral has been mimicked in design for decades. This was photographed at Dawnridge and also features a screen with Duquette fabrics through Jim Thompson. As you can see, it packs a large punch!



The Grand Canal

This photo is from a private residence on the grand canal in Venice...Zuber wallpaper combined with faux malachite pilasters and trim....perfection!

Hi, Theresa - I am a collector of malachite, which I think rivals any gem stone. I'm looking at that wallpaper by Cole and Son, and seeing where it might fit in my house!

THE "WALLPAPER" IS NOT BY COLE AND SON... IT IS "TONY DUQUETTE FOR JIM THOMPSON PRINTED COTTON "GEMSTONE" FABRIC IN MALACHITE ... ALSO COMES IN LAPIS LAZULI, ROSE QUARTZ, ONYX, AND BLACK PERSIAN. THE CHAIR IS COVERED IN IT, AND THE WALL... ALSO THE "LOOKS LIKE A TONY DUQUETTE INTERIOR" IS A TONY DUQUETTE INTERIOR, PHOTOGRAPHED AT DAWNRIDGE... SAME WITH THE PHOTO OF THE ORANGE BANQUETTE SOFA WHICH IS AN ORIGINAL TONY DUQUETTE DESIGN AS IS THE "GOLDEN SUNBURST" FABRIC SCREEN FOR JIM THOMPSON.!!! GLAD YOU LIKE IT... BEST... HUTTON WILKINSON, PRESIDENT, TONY DUQUETTE INC.

The malachite fabric is stunning!

I would only need a small amount in my home to make a huge impression. I'm off to see the other mineral interpretations....
