Many of MoDA’s textiles are part of the Silver Studio Collection. Some were designed by the Silver Studio itself, while others were collected by employees of the Studio as reference. Many were produced for well-known manufacturers such as Liberty & Co and Sandersons.

We have examples of both printed and woven furnishing fabrics and some examples of dress fabrics.

Over the years we have also collected many examples of ‘ordinary’ domestic textiles for the Domestic Design Collection. Many of these are by anonymous designers. But we also have textiles by well-known mid-century designers including Enid Marx, Lucienne Day, Marion Mahler, Sylvia Chalmers, Barbara Brown, John Piper, and Phyllis Barron.

You’ll find a short online reading list of relevant publications here.
