"Muse, magician, patron, merchant, maker of myths ― all these terms have been used to describe Madeleine Castaing, whose style continues to bewitch and hypnotize. Reader, dreamer, traveller, second-hand dealer and ― although she found the activity inherent in this term in bad taste ― decorator. During her almost century-long life, she took on all these roles with passion. Thus begins Emily Evans Eerdmans' detailed and fascinating study of the incomparable Madeleine Castaing. While modernism was in full swing in the early and mid-twentieth century, French antique dealer and decorator Madeleine Castaing created her own style, a unique blend of neoclassicism, Proustian romanticism, and pure French spirit. His aesthetic vision has inspired the masters of taste on both sides of the Atlantic and his followers are legion today as in the past. This book, the result of a research carried out with competence ― the first of its kind ― explores all facets of the life and work of Madeleine Castaing. After presenting her childhood and her life as a schoolgirl in a convent near Chartres, the author looks back on the years in this epicenter of Parisian artistic life that was then Montparnasse as lived by Madeleine Castaing, who discovered there in the company of her beloved Marcellin the taciturn artist Chaïm Soutine and a number of masters of modern art. After a few impetuous years spent in Paris, the Castaings retired to their country house, Lèves, which she made into what can be considered her masterpiece, a veritable laboratory where her style took shape and where her unparalleled vision blossomed. All the elements of the Castaing style ― leopard carpet, opaline blue, "coolie" lampshades as well as an eclectic mix of neoclassical furniture (ranging from Regency to Napoleon III) ― were put to use in this romantic house. During the Occupation, Madeleine Castaing boldly transformed her decorative stylizations into a profession in its own right. After the war, she opened her legendary boutique on rue Jacob in Paris, which was frequented by a conquered and loyal clientele. Always curious and tirelessly striving to create living environments that reflected the magic of her eccentric aesthetic, she worked until she was eighty years old. When she died in 1992 at the age of 98, she left a legacy that is still unmatched. In addition to more than 250 illustrations, this book contains an appendix devoted to her favorite fabrics and rugs, both made by others and produced by her.

Wait until you unroll this beautifully soft blanket! It’s the one you want.
Color: Goose Egg, Size: Twin (60 in x 90 in), Color: Goose Egg, Size: Twin (60 in x 90 in)
I can’t pass up a good blanket, and boy is this one impressive! It’s another high-quality product from Berkshire Home Company. What I love about my goose-egg colored, velvety soft, blanket is the ribbed design. The lines separate the elevated design, and I could literally rub my hand over it throughout an entire movie! It’s SO plush and soft. It’s made from their signature VelvetLoft fabric. Plus the design makes it look like a planned piece of your decor. I like the color I chose but there are others to choose from as well. It’s nice and thick but not too warm. I got the 60”x90” twin size which is great for me! Next time I will get a queen size to go over my bed. The price point is so low for the quality you get! You should stop your search now because this is the best one!

Luxurious VelvetLoft From Berkshire
Color: Stormy Weather, Size: Full/Queen (90 in x 90 in)
Berkshire hits it out of the park with yet another fabulously lux blanket. Their VelvetLoft is my favorite for warmth and softness all while looking like an offering at a high end hotel or B&B. The medium weight was the perfect choice to pair with the large ribbing and while this IS the blanket to choose once the leaves start to fall, it's almost sinful to snuggle up with to watch a movie with the AC humming in the warmer months since it washes like a dream and did not shed at all. I used cold, delicate and my favorite scented delicate wash. Dryer on Medium for 10 minutes and then Low for anther 20 minutes. Perfect! The Stormy Weather is a silvery gray neutral and will work with multiple coverlets, bedspreads and quilts. Perfect gift! Definitelythe blanket you want in the guest room!.

Beautiful blanket
Color: Goose Egg, Size: King (90 in x 108 in), Color: Goose Egg, Size: King (90 in x 108 in)
Really loving this blanket. It’s just beautiful - a step above the average chenille seemingly sold at every drug store/grocery store/shop. Has a lovely sectioned pattern and is generously sized for a king blanket. Plenty of room on both sides of our deep king mattress. Washes up very nicely.. still like new! Note of caution: The label says air or line dry, no heat. Usually I wouldn’t consider any vexing that can’t be regularly washed and dried. But since every chenille shrinks some.. I was careful to machine wash cold abs air dry in drier only and it didn’t shrink at all (go figure). Came out of drier nice and soft still. Great value for this price. Would also make an excellent gift for housewarming/wedding etc.

Lightweight yet warm
Color: Blue Moment, Size: King (90 in x 108 in), Color: Blue Moment, Size: King (90 in x 108 in)
I got this blanket for my hubby and I to use at his parents house -- I got the king to use on a queen bed. It is very soft and fuzzy -- the cats really like it. It is very lightweight but keeps us warm on slightly chilly spring mornings. It machine washed and dried well with almost no lint. It looks good too. This review is for Berkshire Ribbed VelvetLoft® Blanket – 330gsm Medium Weight Plush, Extra Soft & Warm Plush Blanket for Bedroom, Couch, Travel – Durable & Easy Care(Blue Moment, King Size 90" x 108")

Mediocre blanket, not usual Berkshire quality
Color: Irish Cream, Size: Throw (50 in x 60 in)
Got to admit, wasn't overly impressed with this blanket. It came shedding like a dog out of the box. And it's pretty thin. I've bought quite a few Berkshire products and been very impressed, but this particular blanket I wasn't too impressed with..
