Katharine Pole and Joanna Plant both understand the emotive power of antique textiles. Katharine is an antique textile specialist whose fascination stems back to her childhood in northern Nigeria and Joanna is an interior designer who creates elegant, seemingly effortless rooms which often include pieces bought from Katharine.

In this episode of Conversations with The Calico Club Katharine and Joanna will discuss the ways in which textiles can give depth to a room and delight the eye while reflecting the passage of time. From eighteenth and nineteenth century indigo textiles to Provencal quilts, Indiennes, toiles and much more, Katharine and Joanna will celebrate the power of print and pattern as a vital form of expression in decorating.
