Sample length of Collins & Aikman Corporation pile upholstery fabric, 1929. Multi-colored, yarn-dyed, jacquard-woven pile upholstery fabric.; Fabric has an allover floral and medallion pattern formed by the rayon pile. A neo-classical style design: floral sprig motifs are framed within oval medallions and linked above and below to similar medallions, bordered by opposed meandering floral vines. The pile design stands out in relief on the twill weave cotton ground produced by interweaving the pile yarn with the ground structure. The largest area of voiding is in the ground of each medallion. The warp pile yarns in cotton and rayon have different lusters. The colors are organized in vertical bands across the width. Predominatly gray and dark red with accents of pink-orange, blue, tan, dark brown, and light orange. Half width.
Collins & Aikman Corporation was founded in 1891 and incorporated in 1929. The company made high end upholstery fabrics, including velvets and plushes in cotton, mohair, and silk, and beginning in the 1910s, artifical silk (rayon). Early on the firm competed successfully in the market for automotive and aviation fabrics. In the 1920s the company had mills in Astoria (Queens), New York; Philadelphia, PA; and North Carolina.

This series of State Flower designs was printed in limited colors and colorways - perhaps as a result of the dye shortages faced by American industry during World War I, as a result of the British blockade of German ports, and restriction of German exports. Germany was the world's most important producer of synthetic dyestuffs in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
