Relative Values

“The happiest times of my life are associated with beautiful, familiar things and family,” said grande dame US decorator Sister Parish. Her signature style made her a favourite among some of the best-known names in America: Astors, Gettys, Rockefellers and Vanderbilts were among her clients, and she also worked on redecorating the White House during the presidency of the Kennedys. Her legend lives on via a fabric, wallpaper and accessories company run by three further generations of her family. This hand silk-screened ‘Appleton’ print in robin’s egg blue and paprika is a new arrival at Tissus d’Hélène.
